Representing the largest proportion of clinicians in the healthcare workforce, nurses and midwives have significant impacts on patient care and their health outcomes. They also provide a critical link with other medical and allied health professionals that enables continuity of care for patients.

Monash Nursing and Midwifery research academics and students are engaged in improving knowledge and implementing changes to practice in current areas and issues of priority including: ageing and aged care, emergency care, infection prevention and control, mental health and women’s health. They are also leading research in collaboration with industry and consumers to develop and apply novel technologies and curriculum for our growing workforce.
