Beaumont medics improvise to lift patients' spirits

They say the initiative, which started earlier this week, is a way of allowing patients to see the person behind the PPE.

"We have been wearing PPE for a number of days now, but it obviously meant that our patients couldn't see our faces behind our masks."The initial feedback from patients, seeing a face, was really positive. You could see the light in their eyes and it lifted their spirits, without a doubt."

Great idea

BrionyKidd Irish doctors and nurses. You rock. xxx

Great idea, it's so important that the patients should feel they are being looked after by humans and not Robots.

This is a realy brillant idea by these doctors. It just give a small bit of a personal touch to their patients. True legends all of them.
