Clodagh Brackett, Student Public Health Nurse

Clodagh Brackett is a Student Public Health Nurse based in Blackrock in Cork city and is attending UCC. Clodagh joined the Student PHN Sponsorship Postgraduate Programme in September and is due to complete the course in June 2025.

Clodagh gained experience of working in both the hospital environment and in the community while completing a Graduate Nurse Rotation Programme.

“When I complete the PHN course I’m hoping to work in South Lee, close to where I grew up. There’s a great variety of work in the community and you get lots of support from PHNs and from RGN colleagues who are always willing to help. I enjoy the autonomy in the job. You have your own caseload and there is continuity of care for the patients.”
