Clinical Partnership Network

Our Clinical Partnership Network is the first fully-coordinated partnership collaboration of its kind in Australia. The network connects the School of Nursing and Midwifery and its' Centre for Quality and Patient Safety Research (QPS) to six major Victorian health services. Through this network, we conduct multidisciplinary, multi-site research, which feeds directly into our course content, education for the health services and clinical practice. Our partners include:

  • Alfred Health
  • Barwon Health
  • Eastern Health
  • Epworth Health
  • Monash Health
  • Western Health.

Partners as teaching staff

Each partner healthcare organisation has a joint appointment with the school in the form of a professor of clinical nursing, associate professors and senior research fellows. These joint appointments ensure our curriculum is evidence based and the research of the school is specific to the health care needs of the community.
