In the Mid-West, many...
Collecting and using data about ethnicity in healthcare -a drama
Ireland has a long history of emigration. More recently, we have inward migration. Census 2016 found that 17% of the population were born outside Ireland. This means that there are different minority ethnic groups in our country, in addition the Irish Travellers. The Health Service Executive wants to gather information on the ethnic...
Maximising collaboration to expedite positive change in the assessment process that determines physiotherapy students' readiness for independent practice
Assessment of student physiotherapists in the clinical environment is a critical part of their education which determines their readiness for independent clinical practice once qualified. Therefore it has significant implications for patient safety and quality of service delivery. Yet, research and experience highlight many challenges...
I-PARC (Ireland’s Physical Activity Research Collaboration): Bridging the research to action gap to support the implementation of the National Physical Activity Plan
The purpose of this research is to develop a bespoke research collaboration ‘I-PARC’ (Irish – Physical Activity Research Collaboration) to support Get Ireland Active! the National Physical Activity Plan (NPAP)1. I-PARC will bring together researchers, policy makers and practitioners from physical activity (PA) to establish how best to...
Implementing evidence based guidance for dementia palliative care through participatory action research
Dementia is a progressive illness and as the condition progresses into the later stages, the person will have difficulty communicating their needs particularly in relation to thirst, hunger, pain or discomfort. In Ireland persons with dementia are often cared for in Long Term Care (LTC) settings. Carers of persons with dementia can...
OPTI-MEND: Optimising early assessment and intervention by health and social care professionals in the emergency department (ED)
Emergency Departments (ED) face significant challenges in delivering high quality and timely patient care against a background of increasing patient numbers and limited hospital resources. A mismatch between patient demand and the hospital's capacity often leads to poor patient flow and ED crowding, resulting in a reduction in the...
Area level deprivation and funding equity in public hospitals in Ireland: An examination of hospital groups and activity based funding
Reducing health inequalities is a priority of the Irish Government. Therefore, any changes to the health system should consider issues including fairness. A new method to fund public patient inpatient and day-case services in acute hospitals is currently being introduced in Ireland. This new funding model known as activity based...
PPI Ignite Award - University of Limerick

The utility of high-tech drug analysis to the decision maker
The Health (Pricing and Supply) Act 2013 stipulates that the payer must consider the cost-effectiveness (the likelihood that the drug will offer value for money) and the likely cost impact of a new drug prior to deciding if it should be reimbursed. It also states that, after a 3-5 year period, continued reimbursement must be...
Unwrapping the layers of complexity of clinical performance assessment of physiotherapy students and identifying key stakeholders' preferences towards enhancing the process
