Professor Noel Mc Carthy
Professor of Population Health Medicine, Public Health & Primary Care
Biography
Noel McCarthy is Professor of Population Health Medicine at Trinity College Dublin. His principal research focus is on infectious disease epidemiology with broader interests applying research methods to public health problems. His teaching goal is to facilitate students to learn by thinking, imagining, and reflective experience, whether that be specific and technical such as how to think as an epidemiologist, or more general such as how power structures in a society affect the distribution of health. He qualified in medicine from Trinity in 1989, completed general internal medicine training Dublin and Cork before moving into infectious disease and public health and working internationally. This included refugee healthcare work in Africa with Médecins Sans Frontières, clinical microbiology microbiology in Ireland, field epidemiology training in Sweden, and work at the Food Safety Authority of Ireland before training in public health in the UK specialising in communicable disease control and infectious disease epidemiology. Clinical consultant posts have been in as consultant in communicable disease control, and as a National Infection Service epidemiologist. Research training included an MPH at teh Karolinska Institute, MSc (Medical Statistics) at the University of London and Wellcome Trust Fellowship supported DPhil at the University of Oxford integrating population genetic analyses in the epidemiology of bacterial disease (Campylobacter) supervised by Martin Maiden. Past academic posts have been as a research fellow at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford and Professor of Communicable Disease Control Epidemiology at Warwick Medical School.

Research Expertise
Description
Research interests have focused on the integration of pathogen genetic data in infectious disease epidemiology, developing and applying novel epidemiological approaches in communicable disease control, using routinely collected data for research, and a broad range of work linking research into public health practice. Research contributions in these areas are outlined below. The development of an approach to source attribution of pathogens to zoonotic reservoirs applying population genetic algorithms using the example of Campylobacter infection [PMC2063414] with subsequent validation [PMC3988352] and application to human infection [PMC2916502]. This has become a standard approach as recently reviewed [PMC6820127] including in national monitoring projects in the UK. Integrating bacterial genome sequence data with other epidemiological data including developing and validating core genome multi-locus sequence typing [PMC5483910] for outbreak detection in population level surveillance [PMC3719633], ad hoc application studies such as the emergence of an STEC clone [PMC6256402](7) investigating care setting streptococcal [PMC4880081] and milk-borne Campylobacter [PMC4551004] outbreaks, population studies of the distribution of TB transmission [PMC4571080], and the ecology of Campylobacter as it relates to human infection [PMC3487483]. Reviewing the use of approaches using the multi-locus sequence typing paradigm in epidemiology [PMC3980634]. Developing novel epidemiological approaches in applied infectious disease epidemiology such as: describing case-case comparisons based on bacterial subtypes [PMID: 10480708] which is now widely used (a "case-case" and "infection" search in Google Scholar returns over 9,000 items); applying classical epidemiological studies to the food supply chain in outbreaks [PMC6053626]; validating temporospatial approaches to detecting smaller outbreaks [PMID: 24690264]; the use of internet panels for controls in outbreak investigation [PMC5848756]; and the use of modelling approaches to evaluate disease control interventions [PMID: 21859502]. Diverse collaborative work includes contributions to vaccine trials [PMID: 26165918], evaluation of the herd immunity effects of childhood vaccination [PMID: 27955789] with direct policy implications for adult vaccination policy and basic science work on Campylobacter [PMC18403712]. Since returning to Ireland research has broadened including work on adolescent drug use [PMID: 40898757, 39908693, 39818654].Projects

- Optimising PrEP delivery in Ireland: A model for an integrated digital-hybrid clinical service enhancing Value for Money in healthcare
- Summary
- Context and gap: The introduction of new treatments can enhance health and benefit society, yet their success depends on developing effective and efficient service models. For example, Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has enhanced HIV prevention. However, in Ireland, service capacity and access pose challenges to equitable service implementation. Drawing from the experiences of Ireland"s national home Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) testing and the COVID-19, adopting a hybrid-digital approach could enhance PrEP service delivery and offer lessons applicable to other healthcare settings. Specific aims: " Develop a new digital-hybrid, online and in-person, model of PrEP care to improve service capacity, efficiency, and value for money. " Explore how this model can be applied to other healthcare services in Ireland to maximise the potential benefits and inform standards for digital healthcare. Approach: We will work with SH:24, a leader in online sexual health services, users, providers, designers, and the Department of Health, using policy analysis, routinely collected data, surveys, and interviews to: " co-develop the digital-hybrid, online and in-person, PrEP care model; " pilot in two locations (Dublin and Cork) and gather feedback; and, " evaluate and refine, analysing process and outcome data, including cost, patient, staff, and organisational experiences to refine the model for broader use and transferability in other healthcare settings. Impact: By making PrEP services more accessible and efficient, this project offers to overcome capacity and access challenges providing equitable access to PrEP and reducing HIV infections in Ireland. It sets the stage for transforming other healthcare services with hybrid-digital solutions, making the healthcare system more responsive to the needs of the modern patient. Ultimately, this project will demonstrate how integrating digital services in healthcare can lead to better patient experiences, improved health outcomes, and more efficient use of resources.
