 The School of Health and Science in Dundalk Institute of Technology is home to multiple disciplines due to the range and diversity of academic programmes within the school, as well as the fact we are housed in separate buildings on campus. We set out as a collaborative group to build bridges between the disciplines to create a common ground by focusing on our shared learning and teaching vision. This vision, shared by both academic and school management teams, the majority of whom have master's and doctorate degrees in learning and teaching, has resulted in a significant increase in research outputs in this field. Our staff collaboratively deliver on cross-discipline projects, including national forum enhancement projects, academic writing and literacy initiatives, inquiry and problem-based learning, as well as novel approaches to teaching and assessment in practical sessions. In addition, we have school members acting as reviewers on education research journals, elected to national committees and playing key roles in learning and teaching policy design. We consistently engage with and listen to our students, and this is a partnership we learn from and are inspired by. As a school, we have collectively established and embedded a learning and teaching culture, one that embraces student-centredness and authentic application of theory into practice. We continue to develop this culture of learning and teaching scholarship and the bridges we have built within our school strengthen collaborations and fuel our successes. This has created a powerful and empowering learning environment for both our students and our staff.
