Dr Claire Minton

Claire’s research platform includes the trajectory of a prolonged critical illness, patients and family experiences, fundamentals of care within the acute care context, particularly the ICU environment, the impact of the acute care environment on patients’ experiences and students’ experiences within the clinical environment. Central to Claire’s research portfolio is a concern for patients and their family’s experiences of a critical illness, particularly when the illness is prolonged. There is a significant focus on the trajectories of a prolonged critical illness throughout case study research that concentrates on the experiences of the patient, their family and the healthcare professionals who provide their care. 

Claire is a Istrong advocate of Fundamentals of Care Framework being the platform for all other care, and through research and teaching understand the importance of this being embedded in all aspects of nursing practice. She is a member of the International Learning Collaborative a network bringing people together to improve the delivery of fundamental care in health systems.
