Rate My Professor Abby Mosedale

Abby Mosedale serves as a Lecturer in the Curtin School of Population Health, Faculty of Health Sciences at Curtin University in Perth, Australia. She holds a teaching-focused position and acts as the Health Administration Course Coordinator within the Health Economics and Data Analytics discipline. Mosedale possesses a Master's degree in Health Administration and a Bachelor of Nursing, both obtained from Curtin University. Before transitioning to academia, she worked as a Registered Nurse in critical care at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. This clinical experience ignited her interest in health system complexities, particularly how high-level decisions influence frontline care and evolve amid system dynamics. She has been involved in teaching and learning grants alongside colleagues in the School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences.

Mosedale's academic interests center on health system sustainability, research translation processes, and clinician-led research value. As a research associate, she contributed to Primary Health Care Stream 3.4, evaluating collaborative research program impacts on healthcare cost savings and efficiencies. Her doctoral research employed a realist evaluation framework to investigate the Western Australia Department of Health's Research Translation Projects program, exploring mechanisms through which research translation fosters sustainable interventions, ongoing implementation, collaboration, and capacity building. Notable publications include 'Realist evaluation of the impact of the research translation process on health system sustainability: a study protocol' in BMJ Open (2022), serving as corresponding author affiliated with the School of Population Health, and 'An impact review of a Western Australian research translation program' in PLOS ONE (2022), applying the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences framework alongside mixed-methods and social network analysis to demonstrate positive outcomes in knowledge advancement, policy-practice changes, and health system inefficiencies. These efforts highlight a bottom-up approach to bridging the knowledge-to-practice translation gap, promoting value-based care and system adaptability.
