Welcome from the President!
Professor Mark White
Greetings,
I am delighted to welcome you to the Omega Epsilon at-Large Chapter website. Through our Chapter, you can connect with a community of likeminded people whose ultimate goal is to promote and support excellence in nursing.
The objectives of the Irish chapter are fourfold: to recognize and celebrate clinical and academic achievements of nurses and midwives; to engage more nurses and midwives in scholarship and translational research; to establish links between nurses and midwives working in practice and in academia; to give Irish nurses and midwives a voice in the global community of nurses.
The Omega Epsilon at-Large Chapter of Sigma was formerly known as the SIA Honor Society of Nursing and Midwifery. It is the 1st Sigma chapter in Ireland that has been born out of collaborative efforts between Higher Education Institutions and Planning and Development Units of Nursing and Midwifery in the Southern regions of Ireland. It was officially recognized as a Sigma chapter in November 2018 joining other Sigma chapters across the globe. Since this time, Omega Epsilon has increased its collaborative partnerships across the island and is continuously growing its membership and networks across Ireland.

Hoping to see you at one of our events soon and looking forward to creating opportunities with you in the future all in the interests of promoting excellence in Nursing!
Warm regards,
Mark.
