Dr. Aaron Conway holds a Conjoint Senior Research Fellow position with QUT School of Nursing and The Prince Charles Hospital. His research aims to make procedural sedation as safe and effective as possible. This program of research is informed by his clinical experience working as a nurse in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Dr. Conway has held prestigious research appointments, including the RBC Chair of Cardiovascular Nursing Research at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, University Health Network and Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing at the University of Toronto (2018-2023) and a NHMRC Early Career Fellowship at the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, Queensland University of Technology (2015 to 2018).
