University Affiliations
The hospital is a teaching hospital, and has research and teaching links with the University of Ulster, Queen's University of Belfast and the National University of Ireland, Galway. In particular, it is in a unique position of being the only hospital in either Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland to have a consistent tradition of accepting medical students on ward-based attachments from universities from both sides of the border.

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or affiliations:
“In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
