She has worked in the hospital setting as well as in the Department of Justice Health Services in a variety of roles including clinical, staff development, diabetes education, chronic disease management, clinical governance and senior management positions. Eithne recognises that staff are the most valuable resource in any healthcare organisation and it is critical to the success of the organisation that the nursing staff feel valued, supported and appreciated.
