Professor Frank Donnelly
-
Biography/ Background
Professor Frank Donnelly began his nursing career at the Royal Adelaide Hospital after graduation from the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ (Salisbury). After a stint in neurosurgical nursing Frank moved to work in Intensive Care, where he spent the majority of his clinical life. After completing post graduate qualifications in ICU a shift in direction saw him move into nursing education, particularly clinical education. Further study and completion of a Master of Nursing, with a thesis examining the lived experience of a tracheostomy tube change, led Frank toward a PhD, a study which combined his primary interest in nursing knowledge and the role of clinical placement experiences. Frank is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK).
In 2019 Frank was awarded The Stephen Cole the Elder Award for Excellence, the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide’s premier learning and teaching award. This award recognises the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥’s highest achievers in teaching, support of teaching, and supervisory practices.
