Biography

Fiona Ross joined the Faculty in 2006 as a research active Dean. Previously she was the Director of the NIHR-funded Nursing Research Unit at King's College London and prior to that, was the Faculty's first Chair in Primary Care Nursing. Over the last 20 years she has carried out evaluations of nurse-led interventions in primary care using multi-method approaches. Fiona has established interests in care of older people in community settings, long-term conditions, shifting boundaries between professional groups and teamwork. Currently she is leading a research programme on the professional experience of governance and incentives in primary care and patient and public involvement.

Fiona is joint editor in chief of the Journal of Interprofessional Care and co-editor with Sally Redfern of the textbook Nursing Older People, now in its fourth edition. She is a fellow of the European Academy of Nursing Sciences and a member of the NIHR SDO (National Institute for Health Research Service Delivery and Organisation Programme) commissioning board.

Interests

Evaluation of change in complex healthcare organisations; evaluating change in practice through evidence based approaches; service user involvement in research; shifting professional boundaries and collaborative practice; multidisciplinary approaches to the care of older people.
