Prof Jane Macnaughton, former Director of Institute for Medical Humanities, has been recognised for her ‘significant contribution to medicine, healthcare and medical education’ by The Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI).
Jane will be awarded an Honorary Fellowship at a special ceremony in Dublin on October 14th 2022 as part of the RCPI’s annual St Luke’s Symposium on their Heritage Day. The Heritage day celebrates the rich culture and heritage of medicine in Ireland and of the College.
Jane will also present at the event on ‘Making Breath Visible: a medical humanities approach to breathlessness’ about the 5 year IMH ‘Life of Breath’ project which was led by Jane.
The annual St Luke’s Symposium will take place from Tuesday 11 to Friday 14 October in No 6 Kildare Street and online. The theme for this year’s St Luke’s Symposium is Integrated and Community based patient care which is highly topical and a top priority for all in healthcare provision as it moves towards an integrated model of care.
The conference will host a wide range of leading experts to share their insights on empowering patients to play an active role in managing their long-term health conditions; delve into current best practice in integrated care and community care and to look forward to how this new model of care will expand and enhance medical practice and patient care in the years ahead. There will also be a focus on medical education and training and work force planning, which are critical to the success of a new model of integrated healthcare delivery.
