Key Note Speaker

Jan Duke has professional qualifications in nursing, midwifery and social work. Between 2000 and 2008 Jan was Professor of Nursing and Head of the Graduate School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. Prior to this she had held senior nursing academic positions at RMIT University and the University of Sydney.

Jan also has expertise in professional regulation. She worked for a time as the CEO of the ANCI, has worked for WHO developing professional regulatory frameworks in Vanuatu and Cambodia and is currently working with the New Zealand Social Workers Registration Board.

Jan’s qualification in social work and her early work as a community development social worker has had a strong influence on her professional nursing career. It has ensured that she always sought to engage with and be attentive to the needs of all communities, particularly those that are more vulnerable and have less access to resources. This has focused Jan’s more recent work on the need for community engaged scholarship for nursing and allied health professions and the challenges this presents for health professional schools in the current environment.
