Medical staff at Cork University Hospital (CUH) claim they struggle to provide safe care to patients in a challenging work environment, according to the findings of a new study.

A report by researchers from University College Cork identified what they claimed was “a clear appetite for change” among frontline staff regarding patient safety culture.

The study sought to investigate the perception among healthcare workers of the safety culture in a large public acute hospital against a background of under-resourcing in the healthcare system.

Although the report does not identify the hospital in question, it has been established that it involved a survey of staff at CUH.
