Can someone explain why @BelfastTrust accepted a building without testing every single system? Seems to be sheer incompetence or simple disregard of public funds. Also, why has same contractor been appointed to build the children’s hospital? bbc.com/news/articles/cly859…

It was a pleasure to welcome James Lawless TD, Minister for the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science @DeptofFHed, to @QUBelfast today for his first official engagement in #NorthernIreland. Minister Lawless met with some of our students from the Republic of Ireland, who were funded by the Irish Government to study #Medicine and #Nursing at Queen’s. We are proud to play a key role in addressing #Healthcare workforce needs across the island of Ireland, through this important initiative. He also toured our world-class facilities, including the two all-island #Research centres on #Climate and #SustainableFood. These are important collaborations which highlight what we can achieve together. @lawlessj | @QUBIGFS | @QUBbioscience | @QUB_SMDBS | @QUBSONM | #HigherEducation

Congratulations to Professor Simon Doherty, Senior Lecturer in Animal Health in @QUBbioscience and @QUBIGFS, who has been awarded an Honorary Professor of Practice for his remarkable dedication to his field. Having won the Queen's University Teaching Award in #SustainableFoodSystems earlier this year, this additional honorary recognition reflects Simon’s extraordinary contributions to the University and the profound impact he has had on the lives and futures of so many students. "It is a great honour to have been appointed as an Honorary Professor of Practice at Queen’s. I have enjoyed a sense of real pride as we've strengthened our national and international standing in recent years, and been positioned as the best in the UK for teaching #Agriculture & #Forestry, and #FoodScience, (Good University Guide 2025) and best in the UK for research in the fields of Agriculture, Food and #VeterinarySciences (REF 2021). "To be recognised through my professorship in this way by my colleagues in the School and Institute, endorsed by the senior management of the University, is truly wonderful."
