Welcome to the website of the Faculty of Education and Health Sciences (EHS). It is one of four Faculties at the University of Limerick. The EHS Faculty was created in January 2008 as part of an academic restructuring of the University of Limerick. The EHS Faculty is a unique national grouping of eight academic departments that include disciplines concerned with education and health. The Faculty includes two of the newest departments at the University of Limerick: Graduate Medical School and Department of Psychology. It also houses two of the oldest departments on campus: Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences and Department of Education and Professional Studies. Three additional departments were established since 1996: Department of Nursing and Midwifery, Department of Clinical Therapies, and Department of Physiotherapy. Education and Health Sciences has a wide range of undergraduate, taught postgraduate, and research based postgraduate programmes. The faculty currently teach on 55 undergraduate, and postgraduate programmes across the clinical therapies, sport sciences, education, physical education, psychology, nursing and midwifery, and medicine. There are over 2000 undergraduate students, 450 postgraduate students and more than 90 research students enrolled currently. These students are supported by 120 academic and support staff. The EHS academic faculty have built a reputation for high quality teaching and programme innovation and work hard to prepare excellent scientists and caring, competent, and critically reflective educators and health professionals who can work successfully with patients, clients, athletes, and post-primary students in an ever changing multi-cultural society. We strive to provide an optimal teaching and learning environment for our students by continuous reflection on our teaching and by sharing best practices. The faculty is committed to building its research profile and addressing key national and international research priorities around health and education. We have new faculty and faculty completing doctoral degrees as well as several well-established researchers whose research is known and respected by national and international peers. The faculty continue to seek committed and hardworking postgraduate research students who share research interests around faculty expertise. There are a number of research agendas around inter-professional learning, teacher education, action research, health and health promotion, science of coaching and sport performance, and social psychology. This is an exciting time for the Faculty of Education and Health Sciences. There is an energy and optimism among faculty and staff as the new Faculty structure presents opportunities for research collaborations and synergies across departments. Together we can address some of society's problems by taking an interdisciplinary approach to complex human, educational, social, medical and health challenges. Please keep in contact with our website and follow our developments. Professor Mary O'Sullivan Dean Education and Health Sciences Dean's Reports

Fáilte chuig láithreán gréasáin Dhámh an Oideachais agus na nEolaíochtaí Sláinte (OES). Is ceann de na ceithre Dhámh in Ollscoil Luimnigh í. Bunaíodh Dámh OES in Eanáir 2008 mar chuid d'athstruchtúrú acadúil de chuid Ollscoil Luimnigh. Is éard atá i nDámh OES ná grúpa, nach bhfuil a shamhailt sa tír, d'ocht roinn acadúla, a chuimsíonn disciplíní a bhfuil baint acu le hoideachas agus sláinte. Sa Dámh tá péire de na ranna is nua in Ollscoil Luimnigh: an Scoil Leighis do Chéimithe agus an Roinn Síceolaíochta. Chomh maith leis sin tá dhá cheann de na ranna is sine ar an gcampas san áireamh: An Roinn Corpoideachais agus Eolaíochtaí Spóirt agus An Roinn Léann Oideachais agus Gairmiúil. Bunaíodh ceithre roinn bhreise ó 1996 i leith: An Roinn Altranais agus Cnáimhseachais, An Roinn Teiripe Saothair, An Roinn Teiripe Urlabhra agus Teanga agus An Roinn Fisiteiripe. Tá réimse leathan de chláir fhochéimithe, cláir iarchéimithe mhúinte agus cláir iarchéimithe atá bunaithe ar thaighde san Oideachas agus sna hEolaíochtaí Sláinte. Faoi láthair soláthraíonn an Dámh teagasc do 55 chlár fochéimithe agus iarchéimithe, a chuimsíonn teiripí cliniciúla, eolaíochtaí spóirt, oideachas, corpoideachas, síceolaíocht, altranas agus cnáimhseachas agus míochaine. Tá breis is 2,000 mac léinn fochéimithe, 450 mac léinn iarchéimithe agus breis is 90 mac léinn taighde ar na rollaí faoi láthair. Faigheann na mic léinn tacaíocht ó 120 ball den fhoireann acadúil agus den fhoireann tacaíochta. Tá dea-cháil bainte amach ag dámh acadúil OES mar gheall ar theagasc d'ardchaighdeán agus mar gheall ar nuálaíocht sna cláir oibre. Oibríonn siad go crua chun eolaithe den scoth agus oideachasóirí daonna, inniúla a smaoiníonn go criticiúil, a chur ar fáil, chomh maith le gairmithe sláinte, a oibríonn go maith le hothair, cliaint, lúthchleasaithe, agus mic léinn iarbhunoideachais, i sochaí atá ilchultúrtha agus sochaí a bhíonn ag síor-athrú, a oiliúint. Déanaimid gach iarracht timpeallacht teagaisc agus foghlama shármhaith a chur ar fáil dár gcuid mac léinn trí mhachnamh leanúnach ar an teagasc agus trí dheachleachtais a roinnt. Tá an dámh tiomanta cur lena próifíl taighde agus aghaidh a thabhairt ar phríomh-thosaíochtaí náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta taighde i leith sláinte agus oideachais. Tá daoine nua sa dámh againn agus daoine ag déanamh céimeanna dochtúireachta chomh maith le roinnt taighdeoirí seanbhunaithe a bhfuil cáil a gcuid taighde amuigh agus meas orthu i measc a gcuid piaraí náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta. Tá an dámh ar thóir mac léinn taighde iarchéimithe dúthrachtacha a oibríonn go crua agus ar spéis leo an réimse taighde céanna agus atá ag saineolaithe na dáimhe. Tá roinnt clár taighde ann a bhaineann le foghlaim idir-ghairme, oideachas múinteoirí, taighde feidhmeach, sláinte agus cur chun cinn na sláinte, eolaíocht an oiliúnaithe agus na feidhmíochta spóirt agus síceolaíocht shóisialta. Tráth spleodrach spéisiúil é do Dhámh an Oideachais agus na nEolaíochtaí Sláinte. Tá fuinneamh agus misneach le brath i measc na dáimhe agus na foirne mar tá struchtúr na Dáimhe ag tabhairt deiseanna do chomhoibriú agus sineirgíocht taighde i ranna éagsúla. Le chéile táimid ábalta tabhairt faoi chuid de na fadhbanna atá sa tsochaí trí chur chuige idirdhisciplíneach a ghlacadh i leith dúshlán casta daonna, oideachais, sóisialta, míochaine agus sláinte. Coinnígí súil ar ár suíomh gréasáin agus beidh sibh ar an eolas faoi mar atá ag éirí linn. An tOllamh Mary O'Sullivan Déan An tOideachas agus na hEolaíochtaí Sláinte
