A recent Christmas Sale in aid of the Infusion Centre at UL Hospital Nenagh has raised €1,685. Students from Teach an Leinn Adult Education Centre helped raise the funds through their mini company venture which was very successful. The funds will go towards continuing to provide group support workshops and individual one to one counselling for patients experiencing severe and debilitating Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
The Infusion Centre is aiming to provide a patient education day in the next few weeks for any patient accessing the infusion service including gastroenterology, dermatology and neurology patients.
The day will focus on healthy living mind and body. The aim is to bring speakers and use patient individual experiences. A dietician will speak on healthy eating and a fitness instructor will advise on getting fit after a relapse, while exploring the benefits of mindfulness techniques.
To date nearly €10,000 has been raised over the past 5 years through various charitable endeavours. This has been very beneficial to the unit but more importantly has inspired a new level of confidence and self esteem for the patients who have raised this money.
The Infusion Centre would like to say a huge thanks to all the hospital staff including catering and cleaning staff, LIU, MAU, Medical 1 and 2, endoscopy and the Surgical day ward, OPD, theatre and pre op assessment, x-ray, the laboratory, cardiology, physio, admissions office, secretaries, pharmacy, reception staff and bed managers.
