Aged care

Biography

Helen completed a BSc honours nursing degree in London, and a master’s in human biology at Oxford University. She has more than 17 years of experience in academia involved in teaching and research, and extensive clinical expertise working with older people in acute and residential care settings.
Her research agenda is to enhance wellbeing and promote safe and evidence-based care for older people across three interrelated areas: engaging older people and families in hospital, community and residential aged care settings; workforce development; and the health needs of culturally and linguistically-diverse older people.
Her most significant contributions include development and implementation of care models that increased staff capacity to engage older people and families in care delivery, and research translation that supports quality care for older people in hospital and community care.
