Carolyn Donohoe

Since 2021, I took up the position of Director of Education, Policy, and Standards at the NMBI, following years of nursing experience in the fields of critical care nursing education and management, as nursing practice development coordinator, and in perioperative services management. 

With postgraduate qualifications in nursing education and business strategy, I focus on leadership and regulation for the professions of nursing and midwifery. At NMBI, I have spearheaded reforms in regulatory inspections and setting standards for nursing and midwifery practice. I strive to provide a roadmap for safe and effective practice, benefiting both healthcare professionals and protecting the public. 

More recently I have taken on the Interim Chief Executive Officer role leading the Registration, Fitness to Practice, Education and Corporate Services teams to fulfil our comprehensive legislative mandate as a professional regulator.
