Heritage Spring Cultural Activities

Tour of Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone. The Art of Friendship exhibition | National Gallery of Ireland | Thursday 22 May | 7pm 

NGI’s new exhibition is dedicated to the pioneering Irish modernists Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone, and brings together 90 of their works of art. It explores their friendship and shared experiences while studying in Paris during the early 1920s and traces their careers back to Ireland. Featuring paintings, stained glass, and preparatory drawings, it reveals how both women were trailblazers in Irish art although remaining connected to conventional themes such as religion and landscape.

Introduction to Global Health

Understanding our role as global citizens while working as clinicians in our local environment is becoming increasingly important. We have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic that illness does not respect borders. Increasing our awareness of our global working environment will improve our own clinical performance and our patients’ outcomes. The Forum of Postgraduate Training Bodies has completed the process of developing a competency framework, outlining 5 core competencies in which all medical practitioners in Ireland should be knowledgeable. This will improve the ability of the medical workforce in Ireland to fully participate in the global health system.

This module is free to RCPI Members, Fellows and Trainees. More information and to book here.
