Gill Kelly

Senior Lecturer

Gill joined the university in 2020 and is a Senior Lecturer in Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (SCPHN) and programme lead for Health Visiting. Her research interests combine health promotion and transitions in nursing practice.

Gill has expertise in managing health improvement programmes, and has extensive knowledge in smoking cessation and tobacco control. As a health visitor, she became passionate about the advocacy role of nurses that work closely with families and children, while also challenging the determinants that deeply affect communities, putting nurses in a position to influence changes in health and outcomes across the life course.

Gill is especially interested in the SCPHN “orientation to practice” that involves expertise about child public health and the central importance of the first 2000 days of life for reducing health inequalities. She therefore combines senior nursing experience with a passion for championing the education and practice of SCPHN.

Research Interests

Gill is currently working with the 0-19 Research Network, CRN Yorkshire and Humber, and the Institute of Health Visiting to support and develop research capacity within the local 0-19 workforce; the recruitment of 0-19 service Research Champions and establishment of four new Communities of Research Practice will provide the focus for a two-year mixed methods evaluation which will be completed in Autumn 2024. In addition to building research capacity, the evaluation is hoped to provide evidence for a model to develop Communities of Research Practice in other CRNs.
