Julee McDonagh
Dr Julee McDonagh is Registered Nurse, Lecturer and proud descendant of the Cabrogal Clan of the Dharug First Nations people.
Julee has over a decade of clinical nursing experience in the acute care setting, specialising in cardiovascular nursing care, including caring for people with heart failure, requiring advanced treatments, such as mechanical ventricular device insertion and heart transplantation. This extensive cardiac nursing experience made her passionate about reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease.
Julee recently completed her PhD thesis, the FRailty MEasurement in Heart Failure (FRAME-HF) project, which explored frailty assessment in patients with heart failure. Her post-doctoral work will continue to define the optimal means of assessing frailty in a heart failure context and explore ways to improve the integration of care and management of older people living with frailty and heart failure and other comorbid conditions.
Julee has presented her research findings at both a national and international level and has published several peer-reviewed research papers. She is a current member of the Australian College of Nursing, the Australian New Zealand Society for Sarcopenia and Frailty Research, and an Executive Committee member of the Cardiovascular Nursing Council of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand.
