Allied Health Insights Vol.3 No.13: Exploring Leadership and Innovation in Allied Health
We speak to Professor Sharon Mickan, who, over a career spanning more than 30 years, has built a considerable reputation based on extensive research and contributions to evidence-based practice in healthcare.
As a Professor of Healthcare Innovation at Bond University, her work has focused on the translation of research and innovation into clinical practice. She teaches and uses implementation science strategies to improve healthcare delivery systems and patient outcomes.
Professor Mickan is also an advocate for continuous professional development and actively engages in mentoring healthcare professionals.
We were very pleased to speak with Sharon about a broad range of current issues affecting allied health professionals: how research capacity building and evidence-based practice intersect; the relationship between the COVID pandemic and innovation in allied health; her thoughts on leadership in healthcare; and the ongoing Commonwealth Scope of Practice Review.
