The programme includes a lunch workshop delivered by Professor Jonathan Drennan, Full Professor of Nursing at University College Dublin and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Nursing Studies.
This will be followed by early stage researchers presenting their work in five-minute sessions, with expert feedback after each block. It is an excellent opportunity to gain insights from emerging research, share your work and engage with an expert panel.
