Biography

Prof Jed Duff is Chair of Nursing at Royal Brisbane and Woman's Hospital where he develops, tests, and implements strategies to improve the uptake of evidence into practice; designs and runs multidisciplinary practice-based research; and mentors staff in evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and research.
