Transplant Team Ireland welcomed Transplant Fellow from Beaumont Hospital, Claire Kennedy as Team Doctor this year at the 9th European Transplant & Dialysis Championshiops.
Claire, a Dublin native has thoroughly enjoyed her first day here at the Games in Vantaa,  “I had heard of the Games previously and I’m delighted to be here this year. I’ve seen patients during the hard times in the hospital so it’s lovely to be here seeing the good times of both the Transplant recipients and Dialysis patients. ”
