Caru Regional Network CHO2

Liz Jacques, Regional Lead for CHO2, successfully held the Caru Regional Network for Galway, Mayo, Roscommon on 23rd October 2023.
Forty-Four nursing home staff attended the event from twenty nursing homes in the region, with a mixture of DONs/ADONs, Registered Nurses and Healthcare Assistants.
Highlights from the busy agenda included two presentations from local Clinical Nurse Specialists from the Mayo Community Palliative Care Team, explaining the levels of palliative care delivered within the nursing home setting and discussing the importance of advance care planning. There was also special emphasis on the launch of Project ECHO in CHO2 which is expected in November and will be lead by Vanessa Butler from Galway Hospice. Project ECHO will be a great opportunity for all nursing homes in Galway, Mayo and Roscommon to participate in online education sessions lead by expert clinicians from palliative care and aged care services. Â
Liz Jacques would like to thank all speakers who supported the event and all attendees who joined on the day. There was a real sense of enthusiasm amongst all attendees and the event was a great opportunity for local nursing home staff to network with each other. We have plans for future Caru Workshops to be hosted in county Mayo with a fantastic appetite from everyone who attended on the day. Â
If you are located in CHO2 or surrounding areas and interested in registering for the free Caru Programme, Liz Jacques would love to hear from you!Â
