Jacqui Jagger

Over the next six years working with colleagues, Jacqui set up various advanced nursing practice outpatient programs such as the chronic transfusion program, myeloma support group, outpatient management of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and specific acute leukaemias.

She commenced a  Nurse Practitioner Masters degree at Sydney University to further expand her advanced nursing practice. 

She completed this in 2015 becoming endorsed the following year and gaining a position within Central Coast Health. As a nurse practitioner, Jacqui has her own caseload of patients that she manages in collaboration with their haematologist. The nurse practitioner role aims to ‘value add’  by not only clinically assessing, ordering tests, interpreting those tests, diagnosing, and prescribing but also focussing on holistic care of the patient and family with education, support, life-style management and promotion of ‘wellness’.

In September 2020 joined the practice of Dr Cecily Forsyth’s practice one day per week. Together they have developed a collaborative service framework that aims to deliver improved access to services within a streamlined care delivery model. They work closely together discussing patient results, symptoms and coping to ensure that care plans are individualised.
