The Department of Nursing and Midwifery was established as a new Department in the College of Science in 2003. Since its inception, the Department has offered programmes in response to changing health care service needs, developments within Nursing and Midwifery and local needs analysis in HSE West.
Unique components of the programmes offered within the Department of Nursing and Midwifery are the professional requirements and clinical placement components of programmes. An Bord Altranais (ABA) is the regulatory body for the nursing and midwifery professions in Ireland and the Department works in collaboration with ABA who undertake site visits every 5 years. All nursing and midwifery programmes must comply with the requirements and standards for nurse registration education programmes (ABA 2000, 2005) and midwifery registration education programmes (ABA 2005). The Department of Nursing and Midwifery has received approval from An Bord Altranais for all programmes.
