CPR’s Research Competition 2017

At the recent EMS Gathering in Kinsale, a competition for best research idea was organised by the Centre for Prehospital Research (CPR) Limerick; the prize being attendance at two CPR Research Workshops.  Visitors to the CPR stand were invited to put forward any research ideas they thought had the potential for a research project. The competition was adjudicated by Dr Damien Ryan (Director CPR) and Dr Martine Dennekamp (Research Fellow CPR).
