Professor Anne Holland is Professor of Physiotherapy at Monash University and Alfred Health, Head of Respiratory Research@Alfred at Monash University’s Central Clinical School, and an NHMRC Leadership Fellow. Professor Holland’s research develops novel non-drug treatments for patients with chronic respiratory disease. Her research has been at the forefront of trialling low cost models of remote rehabilitation for patients with COPD, providing an alternative to the traditional in-person delivery at outpatient facilities, and improving access to best practice care. Professor Holland’s work has resulted in a transformative shift of clinical practice towards a more integrated model of disease management (in-person and at-home via web-based platforms), as demonstrated by its citation in 32 clinical guidelines and position papers from eminent bodies including the Thoracic Societies in the UK, USA, Europe, Asia and Australia/New Zealand. Her research program has recently been recognised in an NHMRC Impact Case Study.
