Testimonials

Karen Charnley

All Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care is a long-time collaborator with Trinity Centre for Ageing and Intellectual Disability and is highly supportive of the research centre’s continued excellence in undertaking research which informs policy and debate at international, national and local level. As an urgent response to COVID, within 2020, AIIHPC collaborated with TCAID on delivering eight highly successful webinars for health and social care professionals working with Intellectual Disability Services. These were attended by 6264 people from the island of Ireland and internationally and the videos from the sessions have subsequently been viewed by 5190 people.

An increasingly important impact of the Trinity Centre on Ageing and Intellectual Disability, the Intellectual Disability Supplement to The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing and a growing body of studies and translational work in dementia, cancer community living, oral health, pharmacy and so many other health and quality of life issues has been on science and policy issues in a growing list of countries. The work has moved from being of influence to leading breakthroughs and mapping needed future directions.
