There is a clear alignment between third level institutions and healthcare systems. This is as true internationally as in Ireland. I had the opportunity to discuss some aspects of this in a broad interview @UL @HSELive Available on Youtube.

The academic year is busy and there are few opportunities for us who work primarily across different university campuses, GP practices & hospitals to meet. Graduation Day is special. We celebrate and are proud of the new doctors, from Ireland and further afield. Congratulations!!

Supervising PhD candidates is a privilege as they realise their potential to make significant contributions to knowledge and society. I was very proud to support and guide Dr James Baden Powell. Like his namesake, prepared for more amazing achievements Congratulations Dr Powell!

It was a pleasure to see Dr Ruth O’Connor conferred with a PhD at University of Limerick graduations. As co-supervisor, I was part of a team aiding Ruth as she developed new insights into microbial involvement in tumour microenvironments. That’s exciting! Congrats Dr O’Connor!!!
