To help cope with these issues, the team has decided to introduce a digital swift queue appointment booking process. Families can access the booking system on the CHI at Connolly website. CHI at Connolly urgent care service treats children with minor injuries such as fractures, sprains, minor burns, and small cuts and illnesses such as vomiting, diarrhoea and mild asthma. Appointments can be made at short notice depending on availability on the day. Dr Ike Okafor, Paediatric Executive Lead and Clinical Director of CHI at Connolly stated: “We acknowledge this is a change for families but our aim is to see the right patient with the right care in the right place at the right time. They hope the change will facilitate a better patient experience. It will also help reduce the risk of inappropriate clinical attendance. CHI continue to offer healthcare access for thousands of children at CHI at Connolly in Blanchardstown and a same-day appointment service will support families with timely service and allow staff to manage minor injuries and minor illnesses in a safe environment."This is unmanageable for both families and staff. It also puts pressure on patient safety."
