"A hospital porter and a healthcare assistant are embarking on their dream career to be become nurses thanks to a sponsorship programme."
"Ian Healy and Gillian Kelly, who both work at Tallaght University Hospital (TUH), are to start the four-year study to become nurses thanks to a HSE scheme that offers 30 places to healthcare support staff who wish to retrain."
A HSE sponsorship programme offers 30 places to healthcare support staff who wish to retrain as nurses. Two staff members from Tallaght University Hospital, hospital porter Ian Healy and healthcare assistant Gillian Kelly, have secured places on the scheme. Both are scheduled to start a four-year nursing degree that will enable them to qualify as registered nurses. The programme covers support staff across healthcare settings and aims to create career progression pathways for employees who want to move into nursing. The scheme reduces financial barriers to retraining and addresses staffing needs by converting experienced support workers into qualified nurses.
