In 2019, I became a member of the Major Trauma Audit (MTA) Governance Committee as the Public and Patient Interest (PPI) Representative. In my role at Spinal Injuries Ireland (SII), I act as an advocate to support people in addressing issues encountered across a variety of health and social care settings. As a member of the MTA Governance Committee, I use my experience to contribute to this audit by highlighting aspects of the patient’s experience which are important for the patients and which can get overlooked when the focus is primarily on clinical outcomes.
