Sláintecare hosted our third Right Care, Right Place, Right Time, Webinar - ‘Chronic Disease Management’ on 30 July 2020.
This webinar focussed on projects which are improving experiences for people living with chronic disease. These projects are bringing huge benefits to patients and are ensuring that patient experiences are more positive, thanks to being able to access care locally and reducing the need for GP or hospital visits while also enhancing the mental and physical health of so many patients, all key objectives of Sláintecare
Three projects providing services for people living with chronic disease shared their learnings from COVID-19 - how their work practices might have changed during COVID-19; what has enabled them to change work practice; are these changes sustainable; and how projects can be supported to maximise the learning and inform the future way to deliver the right care in the right place, at the right time, by the right team.
