Donnelly was born in Ireland, and trained there as a palliative and general medicine physician. Her father was a physician, and her whole family trained in health care.[1] Donnelly trained with Ireland's first palliative medicine specialists Dr Michael Kearney and Professor Tony O’Brien.[1]
Donnelly completed a Master of Health Science in 2020 titled The experiences of ethical issues at the end of life for first and second year doctors at the University of Otago.[2] Donnelly then completed a research PhD at the Cleveland Clinic in America. She was the first Irish doctor to be awarded a doctorate for research on palliative medicine.[3] Donnelly joined the faculty of the University of Otago in Wellington in 2009, and works at Wellington Hospital.[4] She was appointed associate professor in 2020 and full professor in 2024.[5][4]
Donnelly is Chair of the network Hospital Palliative Care Aotearoa, and a founding member of the Palliative Care Collaborative Aotearoa, which advocates for "better, more equitable palliative care available across New Zealand".[4][6] Donnelly has produced six documentaries about social justice issues and palliative care, some of which have been shown on television and used in medical training. In 2023 her documentary Te Whakahemohemo, The Way We Care, showed stories of dying patients and their carers, and the healthcare professionals around them. It premiered at the Roxy Cinema in Miramar, Wellington, and was shown on Maori TV.[7][4]
