I am a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Nursing and a Graduate Certificate in Emergency Nursing. I have a strong passion for emergency nursing and improving the quality and safety of patient care, with a particular interest in sepsis recognition and management.

Kate is a “mainlander” who relocated to Tasmania three years ago with her family. She has over 23 years’ nursing experience, predominantly in emergency and critical care settings. She currently works in Emergency at North West Regional Hospital and Mersey Community Hospital as a Nurse Practitioner (NP) and Associate Nurse Unit Manager (ANUM) and holds postgraduate qualifications in emergency nursing and a Master of Nursing (Nurse Practitioner). Identifying a gap in evidence based sepsis care, Chloe and Kate have collaboratively developed and implemented a multidisciplinary quality improvement approach to enhance emergency sepsis recognition and management.
