Biography
Associate Professor Eileen Willis has a research interest in the area of Aboriginal use and perceptions of water supply. In 2002 she brought together for the first time Vivendi Water and the State Government Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation to jointly fund a project that examined domestic water supplies in 12 of the 18 Aboriginal communities covered under the Commonwealth Bilateral Agreement. Her research in Aboriginal issues includes examination of access to hospitals, evaluation of the Aboriginal Health Worker program in the Northern Territory, and development of Astham teaching materials for Health Workers in remote regions.
Dr Willis has attracted funding from government and private organizations in the last five years to do small scale in-depth qualitative studies on attitudes, values and aspirations to social policy of various population groups. She was the foundation editor of the international journal, Health Sociology Review, and currently serves on the editorial board.
Qualifications
Doctor of Philosophy, 2004. University of Adelaide, Faculty of Arts, Department of Social Inquiry. Title: Accelerating control: An ethnographic account of the impact of micro-economic reform on the work of health professionals. The thesis argues that state control over the work of health professionals in public hospitals, particularly nurses and early career doctors, has increased following the introduction of casemix DRGs, the 1992-1998 and 1998-2003 Medicare agreements and the move to enterprise bargaining. The theoretical work of the neo-Marxist, Moshe Postone (1996) was used to illustrate the increased intensification of work and structural control, while Richard Fenn's (1995) thesis The Persistence of Purgatory (1995) was employed to support the cultural origins of intensified working time.
Master of Education by Research, 1985. University of New England, School of Education. Title: Servant of two masters: a study of the Aboriginal Health Worker Literacy program in the Southern Region of the Northern Territory. An evaluative study of an innovative training program where Remote Area Nurses were asked to integrate the teaching of literacy with clinical skills to Aboriginal Health Workers. Using the sociological framework of marginality (Stonequist 1937; Clark 1952) and the theoretical/methodological approach of grounded theory (Glaser and Strauss 1976) I employed qualitative methods of participant observation, interviews, back translation, and document analysis. This data was triangulated with a quantitative pre and post literacy test based on the WHO 'Road to Health' chart. Results indicated that RANs clinical workload resembled an Accident and Emergency department leaving them no time for primary health care activities, which remained marginal to their work.
Bachelor of Education (Sociology major). South Australian College of Advanced Education, (Underdale 1980) and Murdoch University (1978-9).
Certificate of Teaching. Greylands Teachers' College, Western Australia (1969).

Teaching
Teaching interests
I have strong interest in the use of expressive phenomenological and critical approaches to the teaching of health to health professionals. The phenomenological approach to classroom teaching attempts to provide students with opportunities to immerse themselves in the lived experiences of populations and individuals who are ill and in need for care. The critical approach brings the political, social and cultural realities of professional practice into the classroom discussion and reflection.

Research interests
Associate Professor Eileen Willis has a broad research interest in the impact of social policies on the health of populations and health care systems. In the past decade this interest has led to research in two broad areas; work-place policy for health professionals and water sustainability. Her research in the area of patient care and the health workforce has dealt with the development of palliative care for non-cancer patients (NHMRC 2002), the future needs of the gynaecological workforce including patient views of workforce continuing education (Cancer Australia 2008), shared care between Practice Nurses and General Practitioners (with Litt & Condon), and the Aboriginal patient journey in the acute hospital sector (SA Health Department 2008). She has published research papers on multidisciplinary care, and paediatric oncology and palliative care. Dr Willis has developed and published work on the use of qualitative methods in sensitive situations and on the role of supporting sciences in health professional curriculum. She sits on the academic board of the South Australian Institute of Business and Technology and the national body of Ambulance Services; the Council for Ambulance Authorities.
Associate Professor Eileen Willis has attracted over 2 million in research funds from the government and private sector. This research has tended towards complex collaborations between government departments and the private sector exhibiting her capacity to project manage.
