معرفی
Professor Joanne McPeake is Professor of Nursing in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. With a clinical background in critical care nursing, she leads a research program focused on improving outcomes for critically unwell patients, particularly examining how social inequalities influence healthcare access and recovery trajectories. She serves as Clinical Chair of the James Lind Alliance Research Priority Partnership for Sepsis, driving national research agenda-setting through patient-clinician collaboration.
Her research spans critical illness recovery, social determinants of health, and sepsis care, employing mixed-methods approaches and electronic health record analyses. Current work investigates ICU survivor reconnection, family caregiver outcomes, rehabilitation interventions, and healthcare disparities. She examines how socioeconomic factors shape recovery pathways and develops personalized medicine approaches for post-ICU care, with significant emphasis on electronic health record utilization for population-level insights.
Recent publications reveal strong thematic focus on ICU recovery program development, sepsis research prioritization, and social determinants of health integration. Her work increasingly combines qualitative insights with big data analytics to address health inequities, particularly examining driving behavior post-illness, mental health outcomes, and rehabilitation barriers in diverse populations. Methodologically, she advances scoping reviews, mixed-methods designs, and priority-setting partnerships.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Chief Scientist Office (Scotland) Clinical Academic Fellowship
- THIS Institute Post-Doctoral Fellowship
Professor McPeake coordinates the Mixed Methods module for the MPhil in Population Health Sciences and actively supports academic development of nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals at Cambridge University Hospitals. Her fellowship awards facilitated transition to independent research, while current leadership roles demonstrate significant grant capture and program development capabilities in critical care recovery science.
