Julie Blamires

Julie Blamires is a Lecturer in Nursing at Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand, actively contributing to child and youth health research with a focus on chronic conditions and health policy. Her work addresses critical gaps in pediatric nursing practices within the New Zealand healthcare context.

Her research centers on symptom experiences of youth with bronchiectasis and rheumatic fever, digital nursing technologies for pain management, and policy analysis for childhood obesity and cerebral palsy services. Employing qualitative and integrative review methodologies, she investigates family-centered care approaches and the impact of health policies on vulnerable populations, emphasizing culturally responsive practices for Māori and Pacific communities.

Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal consistent thematic focus on pediatric nursing, with growing emphasis on digital health solutions and post-pandemic nursing impacts. Her work shows strong national/international collaboration patterns, particularly through the International Network for Child and Family Centred Care, addressing both clinical practice and systemic healthcare challenges.

Dr. Blamires collaborates extensively across New Zealand institutions and global networks, as evidenced by her co-authored publications, though specific student supervision details and grant funding information are not documented in available sources.

She is actively affiliated with AUT's Child and Youth Health Research Centre, contributing to knowledge translation initiatives like the 2023 Research Roadshow that connect academic research with community healthcare practice.
