Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Access to Community Neurological Rehabilitation Teams: Discussion
Ms Magdalen Rogers:
Yes. The nurse training was a critical aspect of this, and when we were running the campaign, we always knew this needed to happen in tandem. Thanks to the clinical lead for neurology services, Professor Hardiman, and the Irish Neurology Nursing Forum, that work has been done and is ongoing to ensure third level specialist training will be available for neurology nurses. There is future planning in regard to having those nurses available for the system when it needs it.
