Welcome to the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Trinity College Dublin, the largest School of Nursing and Midwifery in the country. I hope you find the information on the education programmes, research activities, practice innovations and community initiatives undertaken by staff within the school informative, exciting and challenging.
Take time to read through the website and you will understand why the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Trinity College Dublin has developed a national and international reputation for offering quality education programmes and undertaking innovative, client-centered research that is shaping the health care agenda in Ireland and elsewhere. The School is one of the leading schools of Nursing and Midwifery in Ireland and has been ranked equal to the top six universities in the UK (Quality Review Report March 2010).
We are one of only two schools of Nursing and Midwifery in Ireland that have undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in all Nursing disciplines (Children's, General, Intellectual Disability, and Psychiatric nursing) and in Midwifery. The multidisciplinary team within the school and our partner services are committed to providing you with an exceptional clinical and theoretical educational experience within a nurturing environment. When you study at the Trinity College School of Nursing and Midwifery you will develop the skills and knowledge to meet the challenges and complexities of working in the present health care service, as well as the innovative skills and leadership abilities required to influence future policy and service provision.
