Paul Jarrett is a Lecturer in the School of Nursing at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). His research focuses on critical care nursing practices, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), addressing areas such as antimicrobial stewardship, infection control, and patient safety. He has contributed to studies on ECMO cannula care, intra-arterial line practices, and delirium screening tools in ICU settings. His work emphasizes clinical pharmacology and optimizing drug therapies for critically ill patients, including those with obesity or traumatic brain injury.

Key research interests include nosocomial infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention, and the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics and antifungals in critical care scenarios. Jarrett has collaborated on multidisciplinary projects investigating proactive debriefing strategies to improve nurse wellbeing and patient mobility protocols for high-flow oxygen therapy. His research often involves large-scale observational studies and protocol development across Australian and New Zealand healthcare institutions.
