A Doctor was awarded a Post Doctoral Fellowship on Wednesday 20 February worth €63,500 by The Haughton Institute, in partnership with the Faculty of Health Sciences, Trinity College.
Dr. Maria O’ Sullivan, from Bantry, Co. Cork currently working in the Adelaide & Meath Hospital, Dublin incorporating the National Children’s Hospital (AMNCH) was awarded the Fellowship to investigate the “Development and Evaluation of a Multi-Component Management Strategy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Clinical, Quality of Life and Health Economic Impact”.
It is the first time this Fellowship has been awarded. It follows open competition, enabling a researcher with a PhD or MD to develop their career at an advanced level in the Republic of Ireland.
