Patients are being encouraged to share experiences of healthcare at Ennis General Hospital, as part of efforts to improve the service into the future.
The fifth National Inpatient Experience Survey, which is now underway at the county’s hospital aims to provide a clear picture of the safety and quality of care in Irish hospitals, as seen through the eyes of patients.
The survey contains questions on topics like admission, care and treatment on the ward, trust in hospital staff, respect and dignity, and care during the pandemic.
All patients aged over 16 years-of-age who spent 24 hours or more in hospital and were discharged during the month of May are eligible to participate in the survey.
Head of the National Care Experience Programme with HIQA, Tracey O’Carroll says improvements are being made at Ennis hospital off the bac of feedback from patients in previous years.
