The Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Health Science Education (Nursing/Midwifery) is a joint venture between the School of Nursing and Midwifery and the School of Education in Trinity College Dublin. The course is intended to facilitate health service professionals to develop their skills in teaching, assessment, curriculum design, development and evaluation. It is a one year full time postgraduate program designed for Master’s prepared nurse/midwives to teach nursing and midwifery at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The course comprises of five modules: the theory and practice of health sciences education (nursing/midwifery), facilitating nurse/midwifery learning in a practice settings; the psychology of education; curriculum issues in nursing/midwifery education and quality improvement in education. 2 Within Ireland, to teach nursing/midwifery students at undergraduate/post graduate level, teachers must be a nurse/ midwife who holds a Master’s degree (or equivalent), in nursing or midwifery, and have successfully complete a recognized Post graduate teacher training program. Nurse/Midwife teachers must be registered (licensed) with An Bord Altranais (the Irish Nursing Board) – and remain on their Nurse Teacher Registration (RNT). This is something which is not required of our academic colleagues who lecture within the University setting in other disciplines. As a profession we value this opportunity for further development, it is welcomed by the university and is now seen as a benchmark for other disciplines to follow.

The MA in Women’s Studies allowed for the flexibility to study nursing/midwifery related issues at a master’s level. All assignments/assessments had a nurse/midwifery focus. A 20,000 word research dissertation on a midwifery focused issue was completed in part fulfillment for this degree. 3 4 This program was conducted with a cohort of nurses. All assessments within the program had a nursing focus. 5 A Midwifery qualification can only be gained post registration (licensure) as a Registered General Nurse (RGN = RN). The student midwife undertakes a further 18 months post graduate program to gain registration (licensure) as a Registered Midwife (RM). This qualification would equate to that of a CNM in the USA. In Ireland and the UK we do not have a generic trained nurse. Nurses must train within a specific discipline of nursing – Adult nursing (RGN), Pediatric nursing (RSCN), Psychiatric nursing (RMN) and Intellectual Disabilities (RMHN). 6 The title nurse teacher/midwife teacher is a permanent post (tenured) and equates to a university lecturer (Ireland & UK) – Assistant Professor (USA). 7 1998-2000 Lecturer in Nursing Studies /Course Coordinator (Associate Professor) School of Nursing & Midwifery Studies, Trinity College, Dublin 1997-1998 Agency Nurse/Midwife Alliance Nursing & Midwifery Agency, Dublin, Ireland 1995-1997 Nurse/Midwife (RM) Women’s Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford, , England 1986-1995 Nurse/Midwife (RM) Barrett Maternity Hospital, Northamptonshire, England 1985-1986 Student Midwife Barrett Maternity Hospital, Northamptonshire, England 1984-1985 Staff Nurse Barrett Maternity Hospital, Northamptonshire, England 1981-1983 Student Nurse Barking & Havering Area College of Nursing, Oldchurch Hospital, Essex, England Related Employment Experience 2006-2009 8 2005-2007 American Life Support in Obstetrics ALSO Instructor Member of an interdisciplinary and international education and training organization.
