ProfAmanda Wilson

Professor Amanda Wilson is professor of nursing in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at UTS. She has worked in many health care environments including general practice, the community, and tertiary teaching hospitals, as well as decades of experience in clinical and public health research. Alongside her personal research interests in AI and health education, Amanda is involved in wider studies across the fields of nursing, medicine, and public health. She won an Australian Museum Eureka prize for her PhD work.

Amanda has published over 120 well-cited papers (Scopus h-index 43) in international and Australian Q1 peer-review journals, presented at international conferences, and has been a Cochrane reviewer for over 20 years. She is a regular accreditation team member with the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) and contributed to world class research covering topics from health communication and education to stroke, dementia and cardiovascular disease. She has supervised PhD students from Thailand, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia.

“While I teach acute care to nursing students, I ensure content is underpinned with evidence and primary health care” Amanda says. “Research shows consumers make significant changes to health behaviours based on what they see and hear in the media,” Amanda says. “Informing opinion on health can change the long-term outcomes for all consumers of the health system, so it’s vital that it is done well.”
