Sims IVF, a leading fertility provider with six clinics across Ireland, has announced a new partnership with the School of Nursing & Midwifery in Trinity College Dublin (TCD). Through the partnership, Sims IVF will be the first clinic in Ireland to provide official training for student midwives attending TCD.
The training programme will involve a 1-week primary care placement for students enrolled in the BSc in Midwifery course. Students will gain valuable exposure working alongside the experienced nursing team across three sites, led by the nurse managers. The development of this programme was spearheaded by Sims IVF’s Group Clinic Director, Mikey O’ Brien, a former TCD student and nurse and midwife for over twenty years, with the past seven years focused solely on fertility.
