EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN'S ORTHOPAEDIC NURSES - AN INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON
Julia is an advanced nurse practitioner in children’s orthopaedics at University Southampton Hospital, UK. She has a Masters degree in Advanced Clinical Practice and is a Registered Sick Children’s and Adult trained nurse. Her expertise is in the specialist domain of children’s orthopaedic nursing, with main areas of clinical interest and research in the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip, club feet and limb reconstruction.

Julia is keen to ensure nurses have access to educational resources and keep up to date with latest evidence. She was awarded the Florence Nightingale Travel Scholarship for the second time this year to carry out a scoping exercise to investigate the problem of post qualifying children’s orthopaedic nurse education, comparing availability and the different resources and structure, within the UK and Australia.

Julia has presented at international and national conferences and has published extensively on paediatric orthopaedic nursing in scientific journals and book chapters. She has contributed to evidence in the medical literature, publishing on hip dysplasia, club foot and vitamin D deficiency.
