for the women of the North East. We discussed the success of the Consumer Groups out of Cavan and OLOL Drogheda and have decided to initiate discussion with management on implementing a Consumer Group for the Rotunda. Our hope is that in creating a consumer group, that we might have a platform for consumers and carers to discuss ways in which we can further extend the excellence of care in the Rotunda Hospital. Topics which may be discussed from such a group would be the expansion of the DOMINO service, wait times, and booking in visits. AIMS Ireland North East has devised a simple yes/no question survey in order to see if there is interest with women (and men!) for a consumer group. You can fill in the survey here: We appreciate your time and interest! |
