My name is Joanne Cleary-Holdforth and I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing and Human Science at Dublin City University. I’m a registered general nurse and midwife and my clinical speciality was in nephrology, dialysis and transplantation. My career began in Limerick, training as a General Nurse in St John's Hospital and as a midwife at Limerick’s Regional Maternity Hospital. Since then I have worked in Ireland and the US, occupying the roles of staff nurse, charge nurse and clinical practice support nurse.
I completed my degree and my masters in nursing at the RCSI in 2000 and 2002, respectively. In 2001 I moved into nurse education, working as a Nurse Tutor in the School of Nursing at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin. In 2002, with the transfer of nurse education in Ireland from hospital-based Schools of Nursing into the Higher Education Institutes, I moved into the School of Nursing and Human Sciences at DCU, to my current role. In 2007 I completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Third Level Learning and Teaching at Dublin Institute of Technology.
My PhD, which I completed in 2020, explored the knowledge, understanding and implementation levels of Evidence Based Practice among nurses and midwives working in the Irish healthcare system. My research interests lie in evidence-based practice, teaching evidence-based practice, and fostering the integration of evidence-based practice in the healthcare setting. In 2006 I completed an Evidence-Based Practice Mentorship Immersion programme at Arizona State University, and more recently I completed a Teaching Evidence-Based Practice course at the Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine in 2018.
