Congratulations to Sonya Lineen on winning The Victoria Thompson Scholarship in March 2023 while studying for the Masters and Post-Grad in Children’s Palliative Care and Complex Care at Galway University.

This photo is of the online presentation to Sonya, with the university’s School of Nursing & Midwifery representatives, Claire Quinn and Deirdre Mc Greevy, and a co-sponsor representative from the University’s Foundation.

Thank you to all involved and to those who apply for the scholarships each year. Deciding on winners is always a difficult task and we are privileged to read about the wonderful work that is undertaken all over the country. A big thank you to the marking committee for their continued support.

Huge appreciation must also be given to the directors of this course, who include parental speakers in the modules for students. We wish to thank Michelle O’Donnell who filled this role this year and represented her son, Tommy, when she spoke with the students. Thank you, Michelle.
