Dr. Grace O'Malley:
The latter research is on psychopathology in the children who attend our unit. We also receive funding from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland via its strategic academic recruitment, StAR, programme for a PhD to look at connected health. We have published extensively and we also publish with international best centres in this area. From a research point of view, we have managed to establish a clinical service that is not burdened by research but which brings in additional funding to complement our work. We are really committed to evidence-based practice.
