Frances Lin
Director Caring Futures Institute and Dean Research
College of Nursing and Health Sciences
I am passionate about the quality and safety of patient care and service delivery in acute and critical care. To this I aim to make a significant and sustained contribution as a leading expert in applied discovery research as well as the strategic translation of the research findings into clinical practice. To achieve this, I will continue to successfully lead large multi-disciplinary, multi-professional teams, partnering with a broad range of health stakeholders to co-design solutions for complex clinical problems. As well as maintaining strong relationships locally, nationally and internationally, I will continue in foster a strong collaborative research culture, build high performing teams, and develop researchers as a strategic leader, a highly effective research supervisor, and a dedicated mentor to many.
