Welcome message from Dean and Head of School, Dr Martin McNamara. The UCD School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Systems is Ireland's premier nursing school and the only one to host two national research centres. Our mission is to prepare nurses, midwives and other professionals to promote and protect health, wellbeing and dignity across the lifespan through skilled, ethical and careful practice, based on best evidence and prudent judgement, and to develop and disseminate disciplinary knowledge through research and scholarship. Nursing and midwifery scholarship both demonstrates and enhances the critical contribution that nurses and midwives make to quality, compassionate care, patient safety and outcomes. Our curriculum is based on the core values of caring, compassionate service; equity and social justice; patient-centred, patient-sensitive care; and respect for diversity. Read more...
