Gemma is a clinical nurse with extensive experience in cardiac nursing, including cardiac rehabilitation and risk factor modification. She has spent most of her career working at The Royal Adelaide Hospital in a number of different roles, before moving to The Integrated Cardiovascular Clinical Network, where she managed a cardiac rehabilitation telehealth program.

More recently Gemma has developed an interest in Dysautonomia, including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. She has particular interest in identifying triggers for these conditions, as well as looking at patient quality of life, and subsequent workforce and economic burden.

Gemma is looking forward to combining a clinical and research role in the area of Dysautonomia, and hopes to improve clinical outcomes for these patients.
