We have used the 2021 results to develop quality improvement plans, to ensure patients’ priorities are being addressed.”
Catriona McDonald, the General Manager at Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore, “The results of our most recent survey, with 90% of our patients saying the care was good or very good is testament to the hard work and commitment of the dedicated staff at MRHT. We are constantly working to improve the patient experience through listening, responding and improving. This new survey for 2022 will provide us with a clear insight into what we are doing well and where we need to introduce new practices and measures to improve things. I am urging all patients who receive a form to complete it, so we can continue to deliver an excellent standard of care.”
