Rate My Professor Julia Alcock

Julia Alcock serves as a Lecturer Level B in the School of Nursing and Midwifery within Griffith Health at Griffith University. She earned her Bachelor of Nursing from the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba, Australia, and completed her Master of Advanced Nursing Practice in Emergency Nursing at Griffith University from January 2020 to June 2023. Her expertise spans critical care medicine, emergency management, curriculum development, teaching and learning, and pedagogy and education. She is associated with the Strengthening health systems for disruptive events research group led by Jamie Ranse.

Alcock has produced several peer-reviewed publications contributing to nursing education and emergency care. In 2024, she co-authored "Remediation in clinical practice for student nurses – A scoping review" published in Nurse Education Today with Lynda J. Hughes, Rachel Wardrop, Renee Stone, and Beth Pierce. This work reviewed 20 studies on remediation strategies, highlighting pre-placement preparation, on-placement support, and post-placement follow-up for undergraduate nursing students at risk in clinical practice. Another 2024 publication, "Characteristics and outcomes of emergency department presentations brought in by police with and without an emergency examination authority: A state-wide cohort study" in Australasian Emergency Care, examined patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes. She also contributed to "People brought to the emergency department under involuntary assessment orders: A scoping review" in 2023, and studies including clinicians' experiences of caring for police-brought patients to the ED and measuring changes in nursing students' workplace performance following feedback. These efforts have resulted in 7 citations and 129 reads on ResearchGate. In her teaching role, Alcock convenes the Complex Clinical Care course (3803NRS) offered in mixed mode at the Logan campus.
