Professor Jane Maguire

About

Professor Jane Maguire is the current Deputy Head of School Research. Her vision for the Genomic education program is to increase the knowledge and understanding of genomic science of all Australian nurses by 2030, through implementing educational strategies that address literacy in the tertiary and continuing education sectors, raise awareness of the importance of genomic science in nursing practice with key stakeholders, build research capacity with higher degree students, and advocate and lobby key nursing leadership organisations to incorporate genomic science into nursing education. 

She currently is supervising three doctoral students who are investigating the nursing profession’s knowledge, issues and challenges in the implementation of genomics in healthcare.
