Academic Clinician Advancement Programme (ACAP)

The University of Galway Academic Clinician Advancement Programme (ACAP) is intended to recognise and encourage academic engagement and contribution by senior Saolta clinicians (permanent consultants or health specialists of the University Healthcare Group).  Reciprocally, the program is intended to strengthen education, scholarship and innovation capacity of the Saolta Healthcare network.
 
The academic titles of Honorary Senior Lecturer, Honorary Personal Professor and Honorary Professor represent both the conferring of academic recognition upon successful applicants by the University and also the undertaking of a commitment to teaching and/or research by the applicant.
 
The tenure of an Honorary Senior Lecturer, Honorary Personal Professor and Honorary Professor position is usually for 5 years and can be renewed subject to meeting the performance expectations associated with the honorary title. The criteria for appointment as an Honorary Senior Lecturer, and promotion to Honorary Personal Professor and Honorary Professor status are outlined in this document.
