Information About...

The Discipline of Nursing at the University of Adelaide brings together an energetic, enthusiastic group of nursing clinicians and academics interested in furthering nursing as a practice and as a discipline.

Our academic staff are highly experienced clinicians and our teaching is informed by active, ongoing research that focuses on the experiences of health and illness, the practice of nursing and the effects of nursing practice on health outcomes.

We believe that it is essential for nursing education to focus on the real world of practice and to generate strategies that will improve the health of individuals and communities through nursing knowledge and advanced nursing practice. We are closely aligned with clinical practice in the hospital, in the community and in residential care and it is this that is the focus of our research. Students in the Discipline have access to a staff consisting of some of nursing's leading scholars and clinicians. They also benefit from the Joanna Briggs Research Unit being part of the Discipline of Nursing.

We invite you to consider the educational and research opportunities offered by the Discipline of Nursing.
