PRISM, in conjunction with the Department of Psychology, delivered its first training workshop on 1 July 2014 at Maynooth University. The event was opened by the Head of the Department of Psychology, Dr Yvonne Barnes-Homes. The workshop was delivered by Dr Mairead Furlong, Dr Sinead McGilloway and Dr Andy Cochrane. Attendees included academics from sociology and education as well as health and social care professionals from general practice, physiotherapy, pharmacy, nursing/midwifery, dentistry, speech therapy, psychology and psychiatry.
PRISM - Promoting Research Innovation in Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses - is a unique, newly established research and teaching/training hub which has been set up by Dr Mairead Furlong and Dr Sinead McGilloway to develop expertise and capacity in conducting systematic reviews in Ireland. At present, no other HEI is delivering this training in Ireland and a further two PRISM training events due to be held in September, are already sold out.
