Fondation Brocher | Mary Wyer

L’utilité de ce genre d’institutions est incontestable. Car le monde moderne est sans cesse confronté à des innovations, médicales ou autres, qui s’appliquent à l’homme ou à son environnement proche. Ce lieu est donc nécessaire pour préparer la matière intellectuelle qui sera ensuite transférée aux citoyens afin que ceux- ci puissent se prononcer quant à la légitimité de ces innovations.

Understanding patient experiences of care in high level isolation units using in situ simulation and video-reflexive methods

Objectives of my Brocher stay include:
- completing 4 journal articles to be submitted to Q1 journals

- potential for development of a book chapter

- networking with other Brocher residents

- networking with infection prevention and control/ biocontainment experts in Switzerland

- potential to network with biocontainment colleagues at the WHO

- I am a member of the Global outbreak alert and response network (GOARN). I would aim to meet with GOARN members in Geneva

- Australia is far from Europe – being in the heart of Europe can offer me the chance to visit other biocontainment units at the end of my residency

Profil LinkedIn

Dr Mary Wyer is the Associate Professor of Practice (Biocontainment) at the Susan Wakil School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Sydney. Established in 2024, this new clinical academic position was created through a partnership between the School and the Western Sydney Local Health District to advance biocontainment models through education, research capacity building, and collaborative clinical research.

Mary completed her PhD in 2017, focusing on patient involvement in infection prevention and control (IPC), and has been researching IPC and biocontainment practices since. She is affiliated with the IPC stream at the Sydney Infectious Diseases Institute and was previously a research fellow with the NHMRC Australian Partnership for Preparedness Research on Infectious Disease Emergencies Centre of Research Excellence (APPRISE‑CRE) from 2017 to 2022.

Dr Wyer’s clinical work is based at the NSW Biocontainment Centre (NBC), the state‑wide facility for the care of patients with high consequence infectious diseases (HCID). Across her research, clinical practice, and educational work, Mary maintains a strong commitment to embedding person‑centred care principles within biocontainment workflows—ensuring that patient safety, dignity, clear communication, and the overall patient experience remain central, even in highly technical, high‑risk environments.
She collaborates closely with healthcare workers, patients, and families, using video‑reflexive ethnography and simulation to understand and improve infection prevention, control, and biocontainment practices. Her video‑reflexive research informs the development of biocontainment policies and procedures.
