Letterkenny University Hospital together with the Donegal Stroke Support Groups hosted a very successful stroke prevention information stand in Letterkenny Shopping centre to mark World Stroke Day on Tuesday 29 October.
Information was provided on stroke prevention; FAST ‘Time is Brain’; smoking cessation; blood pressure checks; dietary and lifestyle advice.
As part of the Centre for Personalised Medicine, Letterkenny University Hospital (LUH) is working with Altnagelvin Hospital, Ulster University and Letterkenny Institute of Technology to improve the treatment and care of patients requiring emergency surgery.
Following feedback from new parents and in line with best practice guidelines internationally, the Maternity Unit at Letterkenny University Hospital is introducing new visiting times.
As part of Letterkenny University Hospital’s plan to reduce its impact on the environment in 2019, the Sustainability Team at the hospital teamed up with Donegal County Council to introduce reusable coffee cups for staff working in both organisations.
The reusable cups feature a design created by the hospital’s Catering Managers Mark Duffy and Arindam Ghosh along with Suzanne Bogan, Waste Awareness Officer from Donegal County Council.
A proposed Heart Failure Integrated Service for Donegal is one of the successful projects to benefit from the €20m Sláintecare Integration Fund announced by The Minister for Health, Simon Harris TD recently.
