Covid-19 has changed everyone’s lives and Tallaght University Hospital has already made several adaptations so that it can continue to care for and protect their vulnerable patients. As long as there is a need – and there will be for quite some time – the Hospital will not stop innovating.
With your continued help, the Hospital can implement even more vital projects and initiatives that go beyond the obvious to create a safer and more responsive environment. But they'll need your help. Here are just two of the projects already underway that you can support now by giving what you can to TUHF today.
These projects need your support and will have life saving consequenses.
Coccooning measures, combined with the need to reduce footfall at the hospital, has seen many at-risk people not attending their regular appointments.
As these measures will remain in place for some time, TUH must now establish out-patient rooms throughout the Hospital with screens, web cams and headsets so that the out-patients who are unable to visit in person can still have their appointments from home via video conference.
Are you with us?
Your donation to this project will have life-saving consequences, allowing patients who may otherwise put off their visit, to receive the vital information and scheduled tests that they need.
The Hospital's wards are always busy, and medical teams often need access to clinical areas and workstations at the same time. With social distancing, this has become increasingly difficult to manage as staff can no longer congregate in one area.
To combat this problem and comply with the HSE guidelines, the Hospital has an immediate need for mobile workstations. These will provide easy access to ICT systems anywhere on the ward, protecting staff and patients and reducing the risk of infection.
Are you with us?
By helping our staff stay safe, you are giving them the chance to do their jobs with far less stress and concern. And by adding a layer of protection through mobile workstations, you can help to ensure the wellbeing of patients in every area of the Hospital.
Thanks to your generosity, these projects are completed and changing lives.
Keeping patients apart from their loved ones has become a necessity during the Covid-19 crisis.
But thanks to our donor's generosity, and support from Apple, each ward is now equipped with an encased iPad allowing patients to stay in touch with families and friends.
A generous donation from the Community Foundation, paired with funds from community fundraising campaigns, has helped us to establish 15 new Rest & Reconnect rooms around the hospital for our staff to mind their health and well-being during Covid-19.
From managing rapid change to caring for those enduring this most difficult virus, we can all unite as a Foundation, a Hospital, and a Community to put real force behind TUHF's vision for healthcare. A vision that will not only see us safely through this crisis but also show us what we are truly capable of achieving. We want you to be a part of our vision.
