I am a Registered Nurse and Midwife interested in chronic disease management, especially non-communicable diseases. I am also interested in acute care, trauma, clinical care processes and outcomes, public health, nursing in general, healthcare education, symptom management, patient involvement, patient support, healthcare technologies, and quality improvement in healthcare.
