Primary school kids and real doctors at a teddy bear hospital in Limerick today. You're welcome.
The event at UL's graduate medical school today was aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle, helping kids overcome their fears of doctors and hospitals, and of course at making sure their furry friends had a clean bill of health.
Enjoy the pics:

took part in the event which saw 10 medical stations set up in UL's sports areana.
The topics covered included the importance of regular exercise, thorough hand-washing techniques and a healthy diet.
It was all the brainchild of five medical students: Kira Gullane, Jennifer Johnson, Lukas Kieswetter, Niamh Rafter, and Melissa Shack.
Hats off to them for the idea, and thanks to @seancurtinphoto for the great photos.
