The title of the second seminar of this academic year is 'A Simple Guide to Publishing an Article from your Thesis'. The speaker is Dr Gobnait Byrne, Director of TCPHI.

Professor Agnes Higgins, School of Nursing & Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin and Professor Declan McLoughlin, St. Patrick's Mental Health Services, as well as a wider team, worked together on a project about nursing home staff during the pandemic. The paper has been published ahead of print. The research finds that nursing home staff report high levels of post-traumatic stress, mood disturbance and moral injury during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Professor Amanda Phelan, Dr Louise Daly and Dr Brian Keogh have conducted a study of Older People's Experiences of Shielding during the COVID-19 Pandemic. One of the findings arising from the study is that the impact of COVID-19 and the resultant shielding was experienced as a social disruption which impacted on participant's lives causing disruptions and losses to their social connections.
