We’ll look at real-world opportunities to reduce documentation burden, improve access to information, support clinical decision-making and give nurses more time for what matters most: patient care.We’ll also tackle the big questions around safety, clinical judgement, trust and accountability. No crystal-ball predictions and no tech jargon — just a practical look at where we are now, what’s coming next, and how perioperative nurses can help shape it.

Because smart tech is only smart when it works for nurses and patients.

With a career spanning both New Zealand’s public and private health sectors, Kelly has worked across nursing, clinical leadership, coordination, and theatre management. Joining Mobile Health Group in 2024 has brought together the best of both worlds for Kelly, drawing on her years of clinical and leadership experience while supporting teams delivering care closer to home for communities across Aotearoa.

From dreaming of joining the police force to becoming a passionate advocate for equitable rural health care, Kelly’s journey into nursing has been anything but ordinary. When height restrictions in UK policing in the 1980s stood in her way, Kelly followed another instinct: helping people. It was a decision that would shape a career dedicated to caring for others. After training in Scotland, Kelly moved to Guernsey in the Channel Islands before a friend’s wedding invitation brought her to New Zealand 20 years ago. It didn’t take long for Aotearoa to feel like home.

Throughout her career, Kelly has drawn inspiration from the people around her, from colleagues and patients to the wider health whānau she has worked alongside. As mum to a “Skiwi” (half Scottish, half Kiwi) and wife to a born-and-bred Kiwi, Kelly knows the importance of whānau and the support and connection it brings.
