Today on Moments of Clarity, I speak to Professor Julie Leask.

 

Julie is professor at the University of Sydney’s Susan Wakil School of Nursing and Midwifery. Her research over 24 years has focused on the social and behavioural aspects of immunisation. She has a PhD, a Master of Public Health and nursing and midwifery qualifications. Julie is visiting fellow at the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance where she previously worked for 12 years and set up the social science unit. She currently chairs the World Health Organization’s Behavioural and Social Drivers of Vaccination working group. She serves on several advisory committees, including for the Therapeutic Goods Administration, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, National Health and Medical Research Council, and Victorian Department of Health and Human Services.
