Robert is a pioneer of nursing books in Indonesia. At the time when his first book was published, we could hardly find nursing textbooks written in Indonesian. Priharjo's books present material in an easily comprehensible manner and have helped students to enhance their positive enthusiasm to study nursing.

After completed his diploma in nursing, he was employed by the Indonesian Ministry of Health (Departemen Kesehatan RI) and worked as a lecturer for Academy of Nursing and some private nursing academies in Yogyakarta. He completed his English diploma from Sanata Dharma University in Yogyakarta. In 1991 under the scholarship from the World Bank and the Indonesian Ministry of Health, he went to Canada to study ‘medical surgical nursing’ at Lambton College in Sarnia, Ontario, with some other Indonesian lecturers. He made so many good friends during his stay in Canada and has successfully introduced Indonesian culture to the local people. He was invited by the local council and by the Indonesian Consulate due to his talent to perform traditional Javanese dances. Robert had travelled to the United States a few times to visit his close friend the late George Verdak , the Artistic Director, Indianapolis Ballet Theatre. Their friendship was amazing as both of them had same hobbies to collect books.

Robert completed his degree in nursing from the University of Indonesia (Universitas Indonesia) in 1996 and although he was approached by some senior lecturers to work for the university, he decided to return back to Yogyakarta where he continued to work as a lecturer for Academy of Nursing and Gadjah Mada University. His passion in higher education has encouraged him to complete his teaching certificate from Yogyakarta University (Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta). In 1998 Robert moved to Manchester to start his MSc in nursing studies from the University of Manchester. After completed the tough part of the programme, he decided to join Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust (Acute Medicine Directorate). Robert made so many good friends in Manchester. He met the late Vincent Walmsley who helped him to work with his thesis and English. In 2002 Robert moved to Peterborough, Cambridgeshire to work for Homerton School of Health Studies.
