A blueprint for change across the health service

Cork University Hospital is showing that improvements to patient care and flow are possible through initiatives, investment and collective commitment, writes Tony McNamara

Is the challenge of eliminating trolleys in our hospitals and, in the process, immeasurably improving the experience of patients an impossible goal to achieve?

I don’t believe so and I hope to describe here the change programme that is being implemented in Cork University Hospital (CUH) in collaboration with many other partners with a shared sense of commitment and ownership.
