It is a pleasure to present the Annual
Report of An Bord Altranais for 1995
showing the main activities of the Board in
the areas of Education and Training,
Fitness to Practice and Registration. 1 am
happy to see that the high standard of
service to the profession has continued
during the year and that every effort is
being made to constantly improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of service
delivery to the nursing profession and to
the public.
In the area of Education and Training it
was another eventful year which saw the
expansion of the Registration/Diploma
Programme to Schools of Nursing located
in Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, Portiuncula
Hospital, Ballinasloe and the Regional
Hospital, Limerick. The Registration!
Diploma programme in University College
Hospital, Galway was also expanded to
include Psychiatric Nursing.
During the year the Schools of Midwifery
at the Coombe Women's Hospital and the
National Maternity Hospital established
links with University College Dublin,
leading to the award of a Higher Diploma
in Midwifery
