Honorary staff members

Appointments are offered for a period of three years, and made in recognition of a wide range of professional attachments and collaborative partnerships.

A Committee established by the School of Nursing & Midwifery Executive assess appointments up to and including Associate Professor. This Committee is responsible for assessing and recommending the appropriate Academic Title to the Executive Dean, Faculty of Health Sciences.

Applicants applying for Associate Professor appointments for the first time will be asked to attend interviews, organised by the Faculty of Health Sciences, as part of the appointment process. Health professionals who hold Academic Titles are eligible to apply for promotion in the final year of their three year appointment.
