Background

About Anushka Jaffer

As a dedicated clinical researcher and systems improvement professional, I specialize in translating evidence into actionable strategies to enhance healthcare delivery. My work is driven by a passion for identifying barriers, analyzing gaps, and co-creating solutions that foster impactful change. Currently, I inform policies aimed at improving family presence and involvement in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) across Ontario. Concurrently, I evaluate health human resource retention strategies and pilot initiatives to address critical care workforce challenges. With expertise in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, I excel in engaging stakeholders, enhancing their experiences, and driving collaborative solutions. My contributions have strengthened systems through strategic planning, proposal development, and the successful implementation of initiatives like family advisor integration in provincial advisory committees. An advocate for employee wellness and engagement, I strive to cultivate inclusive, supportive, and innovative work cultures. As a lifelong learner, my professional journey is enriched by project management expertise, policy development, and fostering equity, diversity, and inclusion within healthcare and community contexts. Let’s connect to discuss how we can improve patient and workforce experiences through research-informed policies and stakeholder engagement.
