Whilst studying for his Research Masters at the University of Limerick in 2002, a former classmate of Fergal’s informed him of a part-time position that would further help to pay his way. The programming job in question was with CliniSynergy, an altruistic start-up founded by Consultant Physician and Med-Tech Evangelist, Prof. Declan Lyons. Upon uptake of the post, Fergal was blown away by just how beneficial to patients the Clinical Information Systems he was charged with designing could actually be. This fact fuelled Fergal with a great sense of purpose; with each passing day, the job to him became less about receiving a pay-cheque, and more about helping to improve Irish healthcare.
