Welcome to the Catherine McAuley School of Nursing and Midwifery
I invite you to learn more about our programmes and staff. The School of Nursing & Midwifery, established in 1994, is an integral part of the College of Medicine & Health at University College Cork. The School is situated in the contemporary Brookfield Health Sciences Complex which also contains a School of Medicine and a School of Therapies. The school is a few minutes walk from main campus and close to the centre of Cork City.
Staff in the School of Nursing and Midwifery undertake the educational preparation of nurses and midwives at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and develop nursing and midwifery research to international standards.
Are you a nurse or midwife who would like to take a short course or work towards a certificate/diploma over a few years? See our "NEW" Continuing Professional Development Modules (CPD)
Please feel free to read the philosophy of the School of Nursing & Midwifery
Students are valued as the most precious members of the school. Through course work, lecturers support students to be self-reflective, to take responsibility for personal learning and to develop personal and professional capabilities for life-long learning. Ultimately, we hope that students find enjoyment, excitement, and challenge in the pursuit of knowledge and its application to practice.
Nurses and midwives contribute to health care in public, voluntary and private organisations. Nurses’ responsibilities range from home visiting, general and acute nursing treatments, health of school children, managing health care and specialist assessment and treatment interventions.
Please feel free to explore our website and investigate our research strategy, the Clinical Skills Simulation Resource Centre and the programmes on offer.
