Issues continuing to challenge the service include the lack of resources to maintain people in their home and in hospital with dignity. There is an increase in the number of people awaiting long-term continuing care. Great credit is due Ms Hilda Markey, CNM II, and the staff for their continued dedication to the patients on Our Lady’s Ward and meeting the ongoing challenges. The number of inpatients treated is gradually increasing, as are the outpatient attendances. New patient attendance is up from 665 in 2001 to 829 in 2007. This is reflected in the throughput in both outpatients and Carew House Day Hospital. Great credit is due to Ms Therese Carey, CNM II, and her multidisciplinary team for the quality of work there. In Patient Consultations In 2007 over 800 inpatient consultations were seen in St Vincent’s University Hospital by the Elderly Care Team. Meetings are held weekly between Dr. O Shea, the elderly medicine registrars and the Medical Social Work Department to facilitate planning of discharge of those elderly patients on whom consultant colleagues have requested advice. Orthopaedic Liaison Service Dr. Rachael Doyle is leading the continued development of this service with our consultant orthopaedic colleagues. Stroke Service Weekly multidisciplinary meetings are held and chaired by Dr. Crowe. Representatives of the nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and other medical departments attend. The recent National Audit on Stroke report will guide development in this area. Ms. Imelda Noone, Advanced Nurse Practitioner in Stroke, is involved in further development of this unit and the introduction of set guidelines and protocols. An active stroke follow-up clinic is now up and running in Suite 4 in the new ADCC. A once weekly-dedicated TIA (Transient Ischaemic Attack) clinic continues to facilitate assessment and treatment of patients with TIAs, who do not require hospital admission. This service requires further investment for both improved infrastructure and staffing levels. Falls and Syncope Service Space has been provided on Our Lady’s Ward for a Falls and Syncope Service for the hospital and the neurocardiovascular service which is being run by Dr. Diarmuid O’Shea. In total 130 patients were seen this year (of all age groups). Some progress has been made but the hoped for introduction of a Falls Nurse Specialist will be crucial to the further development of what is currently a rudimentary service.
