Access
Access to Nursing and Midwifery Workshop
The aim of this workshop was to introduce the Nursing and Midwifery programmes, Pathways to University, and other student supports available at NUI Galway to the members of the Irish travelling community.
NUI Galway’s Dr Bróna Mooney and Bernard McCarthy gave an overview of General Nursing, Mental Health Nursing, and Midwifery Programmes and a Nursing and Midwifery Skills demonstration.
Mature Students Officer, Trish Bourke outlined the pathways available to access third-level education, while highlighting the strong network of supports for the student body that are available at NUI Galway.
Owen Mac an Bhaird said: “The main objective of this workshop is to empower members of the travelling community to enter third level education, while being encouraged and supported by NUI Galway.
The Access to Nursing & Midwifery Workshop was held in celebration of Traveller Ethnicity Day in conjunction with the Office of the Vice President for Equality and Diversity and the Access Programme Office for members of the Irish Travelling Community. This was attended by 26 members of the travelling community and was highly commended.
As a direct result of the workshop, five members of the travelling community have begun the process of student registration for the academic year 2019/2020.
