OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Global Health eMagazine November 2022 Highlights Spotlight Reflections Global Local UNG77 Among the Letters Section Editor: Nursing Division Catherine G Winkler, PhD, MPH, APRN-BC Director of the Nuvance Health Global Health Program Nursing Division Meeting with Karen Daley, Ph.D., RN Dean, Davis & Henley College of Nursing Center for Healthcare Education at SHU Written by Catherine G Winkler, PhD, MPH, APRN-BC Director of the Nuvance Health Global Health Program Nursing Division Nursing Division Decolonization Art to Remind Us of Who We Can Be Our Beautiful Planet Ebola in Uganfda Article of the Month Video of the Month Congratulations Global Health Family Photo News Photo Gallery Resources On October 21st, Majid Sadigh and Catherine Winkler had an introductory Zoom meeting with Dean Daley to discuss the possibility of conducting a research project on diabetes melitus in Dingle, Ireland. Dingle is a small port town on southwest Ireland’s Dingle Peninsula, with a population of 2,050. The proposal is to develop a research project supported by Sacred Heart University (SHU) and Nuvance Health (NVH) involving the introduction of insulin pumps to a small community in Dingle, Ireland. This idea was presented to the Dean by nursing students when they had learned that insulin pumps were not used or supported for persons older than 18 who had developed diabetes. The healthcare system there has a focus on primary prevention rather than chronic disease management. This may account for the lack of insulin pump availability for this demographic. The project would seek to begin an insulin pump program for this small fishing village and to compare the healthcare system in Ireland with the U.S. Dean Daley had met with the small medical practice in Dingle and there was an interest to pursue this project as well. She is excited about the Chair of Nursing Education, Research, and Innovation and about collaborating with Dr. DeLeon, the CAO at Nuvance Health, toward enhancing the research and practice opportunities of both organizations. The next step is to get a better idea of the scope of the project and the number of people in this small community with diabetes as well as revisiting a partnership with the medical group in Dingle. If there is interest in Dingle, then we envision starting the project with five pumps, considering government approval for pumps, recruiting physician and nurse educators, and obtaining IRB approval at NH, SHU and in Dingle. There is a local hospital in Dingle that may be interested in joining the project. 17
