David is Professor of Nursing and Director of the Centre for the Heart and Mind, Australian Catholic University; Adjunct Professor of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, Monash University; and Professorial Fellow in Psychiatry, University of Melbourne.

He has extensive clinical and research experience in cardiac care and rehabilitation, particularly psychosocial aspects, and has published widely in the nursing, medical and psychological press.
His major research interests are in designing and evaluating novel psychosocial interventions, developing and validating disease-specific patient-reported outcome measures, and conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses in these fields.
