Summary
I wish to produce sound knowledge on the management of blood pressure and nursing monitoring for patient affected by stroke. I plan to address gaps in stroke management that exist between men and women around the world in order for there to be equity of care and an ability for every patient to have the best chances of receiving proven therapies to optimise their chances of recovery. Finally, I will use data that considers patients’ own view of wellbeing that can be used to direct stroke care.
Transforming Acute Hospital Care To Improve Outcomes For Stroke

Summary
Stroke is severely disabling but patients do not always receive the best care. I will lead rigorous research to improve stroke care in the emergency department and stroke units. I will help clinicians implement evidence-based stroke care, including protocols to manage fever, raised glucose and swallowing difficulties across Australia and internationally. Results will be relevant globally, informing strategies to drive practice change and improve patient outcomes.
This Investigator Grant will transform the way follow-up care is delivered to thousands of cancer survivors who have completed treatment by using a shared-care approach between cancer specialists and GPs. This Grant will shift the paradigm of follow-up survivorship care from predominantly acute to primary care by maximising the involvement of GPs and reduce fragmentation of care. This approach is key to enhancing patient-centred care and system sustainability.
