Presenter Bio:

Dr Lauren Lines (RN, BNhons, MN, PhD) is an Associate Lecturer in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Flinders University. Lauren has a background as a paediatric nurse, working for almost 10 years in paediatric acute medical and surgical environments. In her current role, Lauren teaches undergraduate nursing and postgraduate specialist paediatric nursing. Lauren’s research looks at nurses’ and midwives’ roles in keeping children safe from abuse and neglect. Lauren’s PhD explored nurses’ experiences of keeping children safe, while her current work explores the nature and scope of nursing and midwifery safeguarding practices across all Australian child focussed settings. The findings will provide insights into nurses’ and midwives’ often invisible practices, guide policy and practice development and promote better outcomes for vulnerable children in Australia.
