Saying hello and helping patients communicate in Cavan General Hospital

A smiling face for patients

The SLT department have formatted “hello my name is” stickers for the department and other MDT members. These stickers provide a smiling face for our patient, which has been hidden behind a face mask and PPE. We are recognising the benefit of a smile for our patients and promoting positive interactions and communication in a new and indirect manner.
