About the Speaker 

Dr Amy Montgomery

Dr. Montgomery is postdoctoral research fellow at IMPACCT and an Aged Care Nurse Practitioner. Her 17-year nursing career includes roles in residential, community, and acute aged care. She has experience in designing, leading and coordinating clinical trials. Dr. Montgomery has a strong interest and passion for improving the well-being of older people, people living with dementia, and those who have experienced delirium.

Dr. Montgomery’s work spans both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and co-design approaches involving healthcare practitioners. She has successfully led multi-site studies, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, and secured competitive funding for delirium education and intervention research. Her contributions to the field include the development of simulation-based delirium education programs, validation of delirium assessment tools, and the evaluation of non-pharmacological interventions to enhance patient outcomes.

Dr. Montgomery is currently working on a program of work developing and implementing delirium prevention and recovery models for older people.
