Academic career

Harvey completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of South Africa, followed by a Master of Arts at Massey University and a PhD titled Through the Looking Glass: The Politics of Advancing Nursing and the Discourses on Nurse Practitioners in Australia at Flinders University.^[1] She is a registered nurse.^[2] After leaving Flinders, Harvey joined the faculty of the Eastern Institute of Technology, where she was promoted to associate professor in 2014.^[3] Harvey then joined Massey University, where she rose to full professor in 2022.^[4]

Harvey's research concerns service provision in healthcare, including professional practice and healthcare outcomes. She has a particular interest in primary care, and inequities that affect the care people receive.^[4] Harvey has received funding from the Health Research Council to examine how to help people with chronic conditions be included in decision-making about their care, and enable their return to work.^[5][6] She has also researched the impact of nurse practitioners in primary care, and the concept of "missed care" in nursing that takes place after-hours and at weekends. Harvey's research showed that missed care occur on all shifts, and that there are organizational reasons why missed care occurs.^[7] Harvey has also surveyed the New Zealand nursing workforce, finding that New Zealand's nursing population is older and more mobile than the nursing population in Australia.^[7]

In 2019, Harvey was awarded a Vice Chancellor's Award and a Dean's Award for Research Excellence at Central Queensland University.^[8][2]
