Patient and family engagement
Children's Health Ireland is committed to engaging with our parents, guardians and families through the Family Advisory Network and the Youth Advisory Council.
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 experience team receives regular communications requesting family engagement and we now want to formalize how these requests are put out.
Youth Advisory Council
The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is a group of Young people aged between 13 and 22 years old who share their experiences as users of Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) hospital services in order to inform policy, practices, research and the development of services both within CHI and on a national basis.
