      Research interests

      My particular research interests are directed primarily toward three main platforms of research:

      • Knowledge translation and decision making in clinical nursing including evidence based practice, evidence implementation and utilisation; specific focus – patient safety and quality of care delivery.
      • Nursing and Midwifery workforce issues, including role development
      • Chronic Illness with a particular interest in organ donation and transplantation
