Biography

After qualifying as a children's nurse, Jane started her clinical career in the neonatal intensive care unit and went on to study for her MSc in research methods and PhD in infection control in neonatal intensive care. She has continued her research interest in the field of infection control and is co-author of an international Cochrane review that evaluates interventions to improve hand hygiene compliance and reduce infection in patient care. The original review attracted over thirty media hits internationally in its first week of publication and its updated version continues to be widely cited; she continues to publish in this area. Following completion of her PhD, she worked in the Children’s Emergency Department which is where she specialised.
