Welcome to the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin

The School of Nursing and Midwifery aims to provide leadership in multi-professional healthcare research, education and practice at local, national and international levels. We strongly support the principle of equal access, and encourage all students and staff to achieve their full potential within an open, liberal and facilitative environment. The ethos of the School is one that sees the patient/client as the primary focus. We seek to make a major contribution to evidence based, high quality health care on the island of Ireland and abroad, and will achieve this through excellence in the provision of teaching for pre- and post-registration nurses and midwives and in the conduct of world-class research.

The School of Nursing and Midwifery was established in September 1996 to enable the development of undergraduate and post-graduate nursing education programmes in the Faculty of Health Sciences, and is located in 24, D’Olier St.. There are two professions represented in the School, nursing and midwifery, and the nursing section is composed of four disciplines: general, psychiatric, intellectual disability and children’s nursing. Teaching takes place on the Trinity College campus, in the D’Olier St premises, and in School premises in the Faculty of Health Sciences' buildings at St. James' and Tallaght Hospitals.

The School has developed a national and international record of research funding, conduct and dissemination second to none in the nursing and midwifery field in the Republic of Ireland. In addition, it has become established as the largest School of Nursing and Midwifery in the country, with the highest numbers of undergraduate and research students.

Fusing the Horizon

Supporting Persons with Intellectual Disability & Advanced Dementia

This study, Irish Hospice Foundation and the Health Research Board began with an effort to understand staff experiences in supporting persons with intellectual disability and advanced dementia. A cross section of intellectual disability service providers and a specialist palliative care provider in the Republic of Ireland were involved in the study. Their experiences were interpreted to gain an understanding of their education and training needs and this information was then the basis for an educational intervention which was designed, delivered and evaluated as a pilot effort with these services. A partnership approach which involved the Trinity College School of Nursing and Midwifery research team, intellectual disability service providers and a specialist palliative care service was crucial to the success of this study.
