She is a Research Fellow in the Deakin University - Eastern Health Partnership in Melbourne, where she is involved in clinical research around cardiovascular diseases, particularly acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). Lisa has recently completed her PhD, examining the early assessment, management and outcomes of ACS for men and women in Victorian hospitals from emergency department arrival to hospital discharge. It uncovered a number of important evidence-practice gaps influencing equity in ACS care. Women are disadvantaged in the early stages of ACS management and their outcomes are likely compromised as a result. Lisa's future professional interests are to improve the cardiovascular health of Australians at risk of under-assessment and under-treatment through a program of interventional research designed to reduce the identified evidence-practice gaps.
