Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Spinal Surgery Issues at Children's University Hospital Temple Street: Children's Health Ireland

Ms Eil?sh Hardiman:

The other part is that as employers in the organisation we have processes in place but there is also a professional code for doctors, nurses and health and social care professionals to adhere to. There is clear guidance in the professional code for surgeons around devices. We are relying on an element of professionalism and people adhering in a professional way. We have acknowledged we need to do more work around professionalism just to be absolutely clear about the huge responsibility clinicians have for patients and their safety.
