Audi planning a Grand Slam in Kerry!

Grand Slam winner & Audi Brand Ambassador Peter O Mahony is planning something exciting with Audi Cork who are shortly opening their Audi Approved Plus Kerry location in Tralee . Watch this space what happens in a hospital, who works there, and how the “Teddy Doctor” helps the sick teddy feel better. Children will get hands-on experience using stethoscopes and bandages and can also see how X-ray machines work. Students from the BSc in Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences will advise children and teddy on how to improve their nutrition and explain the benefits of exercise.

Head of Department, International Medical/Pharmacy Commencement Programmes at MTU, Fiona O’Flynn said that the event is intended to help children feel comfortable when interacting with healthcare professionals and also to introduce them to what healthcare professionals do, which may spark an interest in a future career. Meanwhile, Dr. Orlaith

Brennan, Medical Physics Lecturer at RCSI, said that the day would allow children to test treatments out on their teddy bears in a relaxed setting, which could reduce any anxiety they may feel about having similar treatments themselves in the future. The event is suitable for children up to 10 years old and early booking is advised.
