Alyson Campbell

Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Prince Edward Island, is leading an emerging research program called Translating Research to Improve Pediatric Care Outcomes (TRIPCO). With a focus on implementing evidence-informed approaches in child health settings, TRIPCO aims to build research capacity and sustain evidence-informed practices in both inpatient and community settings. Alyson earned her PhD at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Dr. Shannon Scott, a renowned implementation science expert. Her doctoral work resulted in the development of a novel knowledge translation intervention for families managing pediatric concussions, now available on websites like Translating Emergency Knowledge for Kids (TREKK) and translating Evidence in Child Health to enhance Outcomes (ECHO). Currently, as a tenure-track Assistant Professor, Alyson leads nursing courses, provides supervision to Master of Nursing students, and is actively involved in research grants and faculty committees. She brings a wealth of experience in KT consultation, collaborating with organizations such as the Lung Association of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia and Alberta Health Services. Alyson's ongoing partnerships and collaborations include work with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, contributing to a systematic review exploring the application of an emergency triage tool in pediatric settings.
