As part of our ongoing Compassion Project, we held several online and in-person information sessions, speaking with more than 2,600 registrants.

During the sessions, Niamh McDonald and Jeanne Tarrant from our Fitness to Practise Department (FTP) provided an overview of the FTP process with case studies as well as data on recent complaints we have received. 

The sessions were carried out in collaboration with Blackrock Health Hermitage Clinic; the Centre for Nursing and Midwifery Education Sligo; Connolly Hospital; the Coombe Hospital; Cork University Maternity Hospital;, the Centre for Nursing and Midwifery Education Donegal; Nursing Homes Ireland; St James’s Hospital; St Mary’s Hospital;, Tallaght University Hospital; University College Dublin and UPMC Aut Even Hospital, Kilkenny.

Throughout the year, they met with registrants to promote a better understanding of the complaints process. We are very grateful for the support we received and we plan to continue the sessions in 2025.
