Both of our students presented primary research conducted as part of their final year research dissertation module, under the supervision of Dr Claire MacGilchrist.  Emma was awarded 2nd prize for her working investigating the role of health literacy in type 1 diabetes and Lauren was awarded 3rd prize for her research investigating the effect of semi-compressed felt off-loading modalities in healthy adults.

NUI Dr H H Stewart Medical Scholarships and Prizes in Podiatry

‌

Dr Henry Hutchinson Stewart was born in Wicklow in 1799, the son of a clergyman. In 1829 he obtained the licence of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland and MD of Edinburgh.  The existence of the Stewart’s Hospital today is largely due to the funds originally provided by Dr Henry Hutchinson Stewart. In 1888 a bequest was received by Trinity College, Dublin and the Royal University of Ireland, from the estate of Dr Henry Hutchinson Stewart, for the establishment of Medical and Literary Scholarships. On the dissolution of the Royal University, its share of the Trust was allocated equally between the Queen's University of Belfast and the National University of Ireland. Under the terms of the trust it is further provided that two-thirds of the income is allocated for the provision of medical scholarships and one-third for the provision of literary scholarships.

Many of our students were awarded these and we are very proud of their achievements.
