Dr Anne Mette Adams (Mette) is an intensive care nurse, teacher and researcher. Drawing upon her extensive clinical background across diverse critical care settings in Denmark, Norway and Australia, she brings a wealth of practical experience that enriches her academic pursuits. Since joining Flinders University in 2016, Mette has shown a strong commitment to advancing nursing care and expanding the boundaries of nursing knowledge.

Mette's teaching interests include critical care nursing, fundamental care, clinical reasoning and clinical skills development. Central to her teaching philosophy is the cultivation of a student-centred environment where the content is meaningful and engaging, and students feel empowered and safe to speak up.

In her capacity as a researcher, Mette focuses on the provision of patient and family-centred care and support of ICU clinician wellbeing. She is particularly interested in guideline development, evidence-based practice and knowledge translation and has a close collaboration with the Centre for Clinical Practice Guidelines in Denmark. Her PhD focused on developing clinical practice guidelines for the non-pharmacological management of patient agitation in the intensive care unit. Mette has experience with Delphi, qualitative and mixed-methods designs.
