Deakin University/Northern Health Clinical Partnership The Deakin University School of Nursing partnership model is the first program of its kind in Australia and links the academic sector to both public and private health care organisations. The School also has an international collaboration with Viborg School of Nursing, Denmark. The partnership model aims to facilitate clinical multi-disciplinary research that is strategically focussed on areas of clinical importance. Each partner organisation has a joint appointment with the School of Nursing at Senior Research Fellow or Professoriate level.

The Deakin University / Northern Health partnership was established in June 2007 with the appointment of Senior Research Fellow, Dr Julie Considine. Key aims of the Deakin University / Northern Health partnership are to provide academic, clinical and professional leadership, build research capacity and actively engage in intergration of evidence into clinical practice.
