A Trauma Assessment Clinic being trialled at Nenagh Hospital is proving successful.
It’s helping to reduce waiting times and the frequency of hospital visits.
The TAC is located at University Hospital Limerick and delivered by the Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery.
Audrey Butler is an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in Orthopaedics at the UL Hospitals Group.
She says the TAC is effectively a virtual fracture clinic where patients attend the Injury Unit in Nenagh with a specific type of fracture.
