Research

As an experienced health researcher, registered nurse and lecturer, Mandy is privileged to be able to partner with people with life-long conditions, their families/whānau, and their communities, to foster ways for people to access support, enhance neighbourhood connections, be physically active and improve their health and well-being.

Mandy also works together with healthcare professionals and other healthcare workers exploring the ‘how to’ of supporting self-management by people with life-long conditions, and in creating positive healthcare service delivery.
