Professor Dan Lasserson (Acute Care Interfaces theme lead) was recently invited to deliver a ‘Distinguished Lecture‘ at Maynooth University Innovation Value Institute, Ireland, as the UK’s expert in ‘Hospital at Home’ models and acute ambulatory care. During his lecture he spoke on the topic of delivering acute medical care for patients at home; his experience of similar models in the UK; and opportunities for such an approach in support of Ireland’s HSE services that benefit end users. He also discussed how advances in diagnostic and monitoring technology could lead to more patients being assessed and treated without any admission to hospital if that is their choice.
He has also been interviewed on Ireland’s RTÉ DriveTime, which you can listen to: https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/drivetime/2024/0418/1444400-drivetime-thursday-18-april-2024/ (clip starts at 2:19:25); and for the Irish Times on how Hospital at Home could impact on the Irish Health Service: https://www.irishtimes.com/health/your-wellness/2024/04/29/could-patients-be-seen-by-hospital-consultants-in-their-own-homes/ – subscription required.
