Petrina Donnelly Chief Director of Nursing and Midwifery in the RCSI Hospital Group said “The opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues from across the hospital group and beyond is imperative to continued professional development across the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery. Advancing practice allows for new ways of working and has demonstrated positive impacts for patient care and outcomes”.
