Well done to all involved, special mention to @PathfinderUHW @UHW_Waterford @ot_uhw for making a difference. #PatientCare
The 2024 Alternative Care Pathway (ACP) stats speak for themselves. Fewer ED admissions, better patient outcomes. Proud of our ACP teams for delivering care where it’s needed most. 👏
