Professor Yun-Hee Jeon is a registered nurse, academic and leading Australian researcher in psychogeriatrics and gerontology. Her research focuses on developing innovative and creative approaches to improving the health and wellbeing of older people. She studies ways to improve care quality and service delivery for older people in care, develop workforce capacity in aged care, and establish evidence- and practice-based benchmarks and tools for assessment and outcome measurement in dementia. She also explores in-depth, the experiences of people with chronic illness and their carers to help inform and provide context to research and policy. As Director of StepUp for Dementia Research and StepUp for Ageing Research, she also leads a number of initiatives for public and patient involvement in research and citizen science.
