Episode 7 - Lisa Kuhn

25 Aug

This week on This Emergency Life we speak with Associate Professor Lisa Kuhn. Lisa is an emergency nurse and Chair (Nursing) of the Monash Emergency Research Collaborative at Monash Health and Associate Professor of Emergency Nursing at Monash University Nursing and Midwifery. With nearly 30 years of clinical, academic and research experience in emergency nursing Lisa has so much to talk about that we almost need several episodes to cover everything.

We talk with Lisa about her primary research interests focussing on ensuring equity in early cardiovascular healthcare for women and disadvantaged groups through generating and translating evidence into practice. We also talk about the emergency care of those who experience domestic violence and substance abuse in the time of COVID-19, getting your foot in the emergency door, staying current and not letting the job get you down.

Lisa was a great sport about dealing with the noise from a jack hammer above the recording studio in the first few minutes of recording (don’t worry it doesn’t last). We hope you enjoy the show and I am sure we’ll be catching up again with Lisa in the future.
