Brief profile

Anne Holland leads a research program that aims to optimise health and wellbeing for people with cardiorespiratory disease, based at Alfred Health. Anne’s current research projects are investigating new models for pulmonary rehabilitation, including low cost home-based models and telerehabilitation, as well as defining the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in new populations such as interstitial lung disease. Anne's role is to oversee and grow the physiotherapy clinical research program at The Alfred, Caulfield Hospital and Sandringham Hospital. She provides supervision and mentoring to physiotherapy clinicians and students undertaking research projects in a clinical setting.
