Rate My Professor Pamela Nelmes

Nelmes' research interests centre on patient-reported experience measures in healthcare, with a particular emphasis on emergency department settings for older adults. She has led projects including the development and validation of the PREM-ED 65, a patient-reported experience measure for individuals over 65 attending emergency departments, involving interviews with service users, focus groups with caregivers, and psychometric validation. Other initiatives include the implementation of the TAKE STOCK Hot Debrief Tool as a quality improvement project in emergency departments and harnessing student networks for measure validation. Key publications encompass Psychometric validation of a patient-reported experience measure for older adults attending the emergency department: the PREM-ED 65 study (2024, co-authored with B. Graham, J.E. Smith, Y. Wei, J.M. Latour); Initial Development of a Patient-Reported Experience Measure for Older Adults Attending the Emergency Department: Part I—Interviews with Service Users (2023); Initial Development... Part II—Focus Groups with Professional Caregivers (2023); and Implementation of the TAKE STOCK Hot Debrief Tool in the ED: a quality improvement project (2021). Earlier contributions include Educational gaming in the health sciences: systematic review (2009) and Introducing Twitter as an assessed component of the undergraduate nursing curriculum (2016). Her scholarly impact is evidenced by over 600 citations on Google Scholar, advancing quality improvement and patient-centred care in emergency medicine and critical care.
