Professor Brian Dolan, Healthcare Leader

Interviews from the Frontline

Professor Brian Dolan is the originator of the #Last1000Days global social movement to value patients’ time. Originally from Ireland, he is a dual-qualified emergency and mental health nurse and is Honorary Adjunct Professor of Innovation in Healthcare at Bond University on the Gold Coast.

Following his keynote presentation at our Last 1000 Days meeting, Brian joined us to record a podcast interview about his career, how we can better support patients during their last 1000 days, his philosophy that while staffs’ time is important the patient’s time is sacred and how this informs his approach to service redesign, and his work to end PJ paralysis. We even find out which member of the Royal Family Brian met when he received an OBE ‘For Services to Nursing and Emergency Care’ in the UK.
