Petra Mandysova was formally trained in Nursing, completing her BSc at McGill University, Montreal, Canada (1993), MSN at the University of Phoenix, USA (2007) and PhD at the University of Pardubice, Czech Republic (2014). She became interested in neurosciences during her work at the Montreal Neurological Hospital / McGill University Health Centre (1991–2000) and became certified in neurosciences by the Canadian Nurses’ Association.
In 2000, she joined an international team of health professionals and supported the effort of a newly opened hospital, the Shaikh Khalifa Medical Centre (SKMC) in Abu Dhabi, UAE, to obtain Canadian accreditation. During her five-year stint at SKMC, she was responsible for developing and/or implementing nursing and multidisciplinary standards and protocols.
In 2006, she moved to the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Pardubice, Czech Republic (CR) and soon after started working on her PhD. Her PhD research focused on the development and implementation of a simple nursing dysphagia screening tool. The tool has been implemented in a number of hospitals in the CR. In addition, she has been involved in a research project on dysphagia funded by the Czech Ministry of Health (2012–2015) and has become a lecturer in an accredited dysphagia course for speech therapists.
In 2021, she moved to a new position at Palacky University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Olomouc, Czech Republic.
In 2023, she moved back to the position of the associate professor at the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Pardubice, Czech Republic.
She has presented at conferences in Europe, North America and the Middle East and has lectured at universities across Europe and in Japan.
Her current efforts focus on promoting nursing in the CR and also on strengthening and furthering her collaboration with other experts, mainly in the area of health care research, education, mentoring and coaching, both nationally and internationally.
Moreover, she translates (Czech/English) and teaches English (business, health care).
