Family Advisory Network

Children's Health Ireland are committed to having patient and family engagement when designing services, developing projects or carrying out research. The patient feedback and support service (PFSS) receives regular communications requesting family engagement and we now want to formalize how these requests are put out.

What is FAN?

The Family Advisory Network (FAN) was formally established after the Family Forum Meeting in April 2023. It was co designed by a small working group of CHI staff and CHI parents.

What do they do?

The purpose of FAN is to involve families in CHI Projects, Design, Education and Groups.

What is the commitment?

There is no obligation to get involved in any of the requests. However, you will be kept informed of all requests for parent engagement and if you are interested and available to participate in any of the requests then you can volunteer for those. Otherwise, there is no expectation from you.

Who can join?

Any parent or guardian of a child who is attending or has attended a CHI hospital. In addition, FAN is also open to former patients of CHI who would like t get involved.
