Dr Peter Jackson conferred with Master of Public Health
Congratulations to Dr Peter Jackson who was conferred with a Master of Public Health at UCC today.
For his master’s thesis, Dr Jackson explored the care experiences of parents whose pregnancy was diagnosed with a fatal fetal anomaly following the legalisation of termination of pregnancy in 2019 in Ireland. His resulting paper, ‘Fatal fetal anomaly: Experiences of women and their partners’ won a Health Service Executive (HSE) Open Access Research Award in the Acute Care and Hospitals category in 2023. In the preceding year, Peter was awarded oral presentation prizes for this work at the Junior Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society Conference, the UCC College of Medicine and Health ‘From Molecules to People’ Conference, and the 5th All Island Children’s Palliative Care Conference.
Dr Jackson was supervised by Dr Stacey Power-Walsh, Dr Rebecca Dennehy and Professor Keelin O'Donoghue.
The UCC College of Medicine and Health Spring Conferring Ceremony was held at Devere Hall on 21 March 2024.
