Dr Amanda Ullman is the inaugural Professor and Chair in Paediatric Nursing, conjoint between the University of Queensland and Children's Health Queensland, and a 2021-22 Fulbright Future Scholar.
Amanda believes that children should be able to receive medical treatment in hospitals, without harm. Her research focusses on improving the most common invasive procedure in paediatrics - the insertion of an intravenous (IV) catheter. This research has changed practice, reducing infection and pain, and promoting efficient healthcare, for children internationally. This research program has received considerable investment by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) (>$11M), highly-competitive awards, >120 research articles, two mHealth apps, and ranking as the top global expert in central venous catheters (ExpertScape, February 2023).
