Senior Lecturer in Nursing and Midwifery Dr Lauren Kearney will discuss ‘The outcomes of birthing in rural generalist supported units in Queensland’ at the seminar, which is open to health professionals, researchers, teachers and students, from 12-1pm on Thursday 2 July.
Dr Kearney is USC’s program coordinator for the Master of Nursing (Clinical Leadership). She is a registered midwife and nurse with a background in paediatrics, maternal and child health nursing and midwifery.
