Welcoming CHI’s Chief Academic Officer
We were honoured to welcome Professor Susanne (Susa) Benseler, Chief Academic Officer and Head of Paediatric Health Affairs at Children’s Health Ireland (CHI), to our department this week.
In her leadership role, Prof. Benseler champions the integration of clinical excellence, education, research, and innovation to improve health outcomes for children and adolescents across Ireland.
During her visit, she met with colleagues from the INFANT Research Centre, the Department of Paediatrics & Child Health, and the Cork University Hospital. The visit provided an opportunity to showcase how we are embedding research and education within the hospital setting, bridging clinical care, academic training, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
It was a pleasure to highlight the impactful work being done by our teams and to explore future opportunities for collaboration.
