Dr Amy Brown ~ JCU Research Fellow

Amy Brown (PhD), is a clinician-researcher based at Townsville University Hospital, and adjunct Research Fellow at JCU. In her role at Townsville Cancer Centre, she supports clinician-researchers in investigator-led projects. These projects are predominately in health services research, across Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Haematology and Palliative Care.

She is a radiation therapist by clinical background, and maintains a strong interest and involvement in research opportunities surrounding the clinical and technical aspects of radiation oncology, with an expanded interest to other areas of oncology through her role. Her PhD was on motion monitoring during prostate radiation therapy treatment including a clinical trial component, and investigating patient preferences and perspectives.

Amy's current research interests are in the broad areas of health preferences, shared decision making and value based healthcare. She is passionate about consumer engagement within oncology research and quality improvement. Her current research is in health preferences in radiation therapy treatment, developing and testing a decision-aide tool by incorporating individual preferences.
