Two new national MSc nursing programmes in advanced practice in epilepsy and neonatology commenced on the 16 January in RCSI.

The Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery were approached by a group comprising consultant neonatologists and established advanced nurse practitioners in neonatology to develop the neonatology programme, the first of its kind in Ireland.

The Epilepsy programme is based on the recently developed epilepsy care programme and is also the first of its kind in Ireland.
