Volunteer panels

Relatives' Panel

The Health Information and Quality Authority wants to hear what you have to say. You have the right to be heard so why not volunteer for our Relatives Panel?

Relatives panels consist of groups of relatives of people (past and present) in nursing homes coming together to provide feedback to us on how we can work together to further improve the safety and quality of services provided in residential centres.

The panels provide an opportunity for relatives and friends of residents in residential care to meet formally with us to discuss issues with a view to driving improvements for all those in residential care settings for older people. The primary focus is looking at the bigger picture for the quality of life in designated centres.

If this is something you would be interested in, we would like to hear from you. Contact us on 021 240 9660 or write to us at: Health Information and Quality Authority, Social Services Inspectorate, 1301 City Gate, Mahon, Cork or email: relativespanel@hiqa.ie
