Personal Bio
Hello, I am Natalia, an accomplished senior neonatal nurse with extensive experience providing high-quality care to sick and premature neonates. Throughout my career in neonatal nursing I have worked across various roles, including Clinical Nurse Specialist, Clinical Support Nurse, Associate Nurse Unit Manager, Clinical Nurse Educator, Clinical Practice Improvement Specialist and Neonatal Service Development Lead across a number of health care settings.
I have worked hard to advance neonatal care, notably developing and leading clinical education programs, leading quality improvement initiatives and delivering service development projects to support better health access and quality care.
My expertise extends to nursing advocacy and clinical education where I have focused on fostering professional development opportunities for neonatal nurses. I am an active member of state-wide, national and international neonatal collaborative groups which focused on improving clinical care and outcomes for vulnerable neonates and sharing this knowledge with fellow nurses, midwives and medical colleagues. I am passionate about research, education, and continuous quality improvement and dedicated to empowering nurses and enhancing neonatal care standards.
I hold a Master of Advanced Practice Nursing and work as a Clinical Practice Improvement Specialist for neonatal services in Melbourne. I am the founder and co-director of N.E.O an organisation I developed from the grass roots which is dedicated to advancing neonatal education and practice for nurses and midwives working in neonatal care.
