This week we held our annual School Awards ceremony to mark the achievements of our students who have attained remarkable academic results. 

Proud family members, supportive friends, faculty and clinical partners cheered the students on as they collected their awards. 

Dr Damien Brennan, Head of School, said: 

 “Our School Awards recognise students who have achieved exceptional success in their academic studies across our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. We were very proud to celebrate their accomplishments at this special ceremony with their family and friends, and our clinical partners.  

It was also wonderful to present the ‘Preceptor of the Year’ award to Caoimhne Quinn from our partner health service provider St James’s Hospital. This is a student nominated award which acknowledges a preceptor for the valuable guidance and support they have provided to students during their clinical placements.”
