Having originally trained in ACT at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases (RNHRD) in Bath, UK, Noirin continued to develop her practice and trained with the founding members of ACT. In 2014, she was commissioned by the Health and Social Care Professions to deliver ACT training to healthcare professionals throughout Ireland.
