Welcome to my home page! I'm the course co-ordinator for Physiotherapy Professional Practice (REHB 5066) and a co-cordinator for Acute Care (REHB 3007). I also teach in second year (Physiotherapy Studies: PS200), fourth year (Evidence-Based Practice 3) and several subjects in the Graduate Entry Masters program (GEM).
My career in physiotherapy started in 1997, and over the past 24 years I have remained passionate about promoting excellence in clinical education and physiotherapy practice.
After completing my PhD, I have worked at UniSA as a lecturer clinical educator, and continued research in clinical education and physiotherapy.

Anna has published a reporting guideline to assist in the complete and transparent reporting for research in evidence-based practice educational interventions (GREET). Following a published study protocol, the development process for the GREET is included as an exemplar on the EQUATOR network (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) an international database for reporting guidelines, http://www.equator-network.org/toolkits/developers. The GREET reporting guideline is also available in Japanese.
Recently completed projects funded by University of South Australia Teaching and Learning Unit Grant ($10000) published in BMC Medical Education, Developing physiotherapy student safety skills in readiness for clinical placement using standardised patients compared with peer-role play: a pilot non-randomised controlled trial.
