Nursing and Midwifery

Nursing and Midwifery research could radically change the way you and your family are cared for

Our nursing and midwifery research is pioneered by practising clinicians, so outcomes can quickly inform and improve healthcare practice at the bedside.

Key initiatives

  • Offering community-based services across the last seven days of life, enabling patients to die at home instead of in a hospital
  • Using AI solutions to deliver health services to Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities
  • Testing remote sensing technology with Samsung to detect early cardiac abnormality
  • Testing an AI-based conversational agent for COVID-19 patient management to prevent cardiovascular disease
  • A nurse-led intervention to reduce the incidence and duration of delirium among ICU patients
  • Trialling a new osteoporosis re-fracture prevention model of care
  • Reducing preventable ED presentations in older people.
