Clinical Placement Coordinators Ger Crilly and Pauline Chapman from University Hospital Limerick (UHL) recently developed a short film, Great Minds Don’t Think Alike - Neuroinclusive Learning Environments at UHL, featuring neurodivergent students, staff and those who support them in UHL.

The film was launched at a multidisciplinary conference in Limerick which was attended by over 150 healthcare professionals from across Ireland. The motivation for both the conference and film was to raise awareness of how we can best support our student population. A key focus of this conference was ‘lived experience’, which is so valuable and impactful.

Our Interim Director of Education Policy and Standards, Lorraine Clarke Bishop spoke about the value that comes from supporting all healthcare students appropriately.

Additionally, the conference heard from a range of speakers including nurses and students who shared their lived experiences.
