The Health Sciences Academy is delighted to announce our success in the recent HSE Spark Impact bid. We have secured €88,000 to scale our Care Aware Crew programme across all primary schools in the MidWest region in 2025. In addition we will develop a website to make the programme accessible to all primary schools nationally.

The Care Aware Crew aims to build leadership and health promotion skills among 3rd class pupils, it was created and developed with clinical staff from ULHG, MWCH, UL and Limerick & Clare Education & Training Board.
