NIHR Bristol ESG is staffed by a core team of six systematic reviewers and an information specialist. The group is co-led by Professor Julian Higgins and Professor Deborah Caldwell. Dr Jelena Savovic leads and co-ordinates our dissemination and knowledge mobilisations activities, and Dr Andy Gibson provides leadership for public involvement and engagement.
The senior team is completed by our topic and methodological leads: Professor Geraldine MacDonald (social care), Dr Christie Cabral (primary care), Dr Hayley Jones (statistics) and Dr Sabina Sanghera (economics). Professors Nicky Welton and Penny Whiting are Senior Advisors.
