You have the right in a medical emergency to be admitted immediately to hospital. In cases other than in an emergency, you will be placed on a waiting list if you cannot be admitted to hospital immediately. If you are on a waiting list and are concerned about your condition, you should consult your family doctor who can then request that your condition be reviewed by your hospital consultant. Where a recommended medical procedure is not available at the hospital, you will have the right to ask your hospital consultant to transfer you elsewhere where the procedure is available. You have the right, should your admission be cancelled by the hospital, to receive adequate and timely notice of such cancellation. However, in exceptional cases arising from emergency pressures or staff illnesses, your operation may have to be cancelled at very short notice. In these circumstances, the hospital will make every effort to contact you in advance. You have the right, in the event of cancellation, to be given a new appointment for an early date and to be treated on a priority basis You have the right, when your family doctor refers you to hospital for an out-patient appointment, to: If you feel your condition has disimproved, you should consult your family doctor who can, if necessary, take up the matter with the hospital. You have the right, should your appointment at an out-patient department be cancelled by the hospital, to receive adequate and timely notice of such cancellation and to be given a new appointment on a priority basis. You have the right to be informed of the name of the consultant under whose care you are being placed, and, if you are to be referred to another consultant, you have the right to be informed of the reasons for such referral. You have the right to be informed of the nature of your illness or condition in language which you can fully understand, and to be informed concerning: Generally, treatment should only be given to a patient with his or her informed consent or, in the case of a child, the consent of a parent or guardian. You may request the presence of a person or persons of your choosing during the procedure for granting consent. The consent form you are asked to sign should clearly state the nature of the procedures to be undertaken. Only in cases where a patient lacks the capacity to give or withhold consent, and where a qualified medical doctor determines that treatment is urgently necessary in order to prevent immediate or imminent harm, may treatment be given without informed consent. You have the right to total confidentiality in respect of your medical records. You have the right to request the hospital to make details of your relevant medical records available to you. Hospitals will normally meet your wishes in this regard, except where it would be considered that this would cause serious harm to your physical or mental health. In such circumstances, the information may be communicated through a health professional, normally your family doctor. You have the right to refuse to participate in the teaching of medical students by your consultant. Your permission must be sought before a consultant can involve you in the teaching of students. However, your co-operation would be important in view of the need to ensure that future doctors obtain the best possible training. You have the right to refuse to take part in any clinical trials or research concerning the use of new drugs or medical devices. Clinical trials and experimental treatment should never be carried out without your informed consent being obtained by the hospital or medical personnel.

Tá sé de cheart agat i gcás éigeandála leighis go dtógfaí isteach láithreach tú in ospidéal. Murab éigeandáil a bhíonn i gceist, cuirfear ar liosta feithimh tú mura féidir tú a thógáil isteach láithreach. Má bhíonn tú ar liosta feithimh agus má bhíonn imní ort faoi do shláinte, ba cheart duit labhairt le do dhochtúir féin agus féadfaidh seisean a iarraidh go n-athbhreithneodh do shainchomhairleoir ospidéil do chás. Sa gcás nach mbíonn cóir leighis atá molta i do chás-sa ar fáil san ospidéal, tá sé de cheart agat a iarraidh ar do shainchomhairleoir ospidéil tú a aistriú chuig ionad a bhfuil an chóir leighis sin ar fáil ann. Má chuirtear ar ceal socrú a bhíonn déanta le tú a thógáil isteach in ospidéal, tá sé de cheart agat fógra maith faoi sin a fháil in am. Tharlódh sé i gcásanna áirithe, áfach, de bharr tinneas foirne nó brú éigeandála go gcaithfí d'obráid a chur ar ceal gan mórán fógra. Má tharlaíonn sé sin déanfaidh an t-ospidéal gach iarracht scéala a thabhairt duit roimh ré. I gcás cealú den sért sin, tá sé de cheart agat coinne nua nach mbainfeadh moill léi a fháil agus tús áite a fháil freisin. Nuair a dhéanann do dhochtúir féin tú a chur ar aghaidh go dtí ospidéal le haghaidh coinne mar othar seachtrach, tá sé de cheart agat: Má cheapann tú go bhfuil do thinneas gafa chun donais ba cheart duit labhairt le do dhochtúir féin a fhéadfaidh, más gá, labhairt leis an ospidéal. Má chuireann an t-ospidéal ar ceal coinne mar othar seachtrach a bheidh déanta duit, tá sé de cheart agat fógra maith faoi sin a fháil in am agus tús áite a fháil ó thaobh coinne nua. Tá sé de cheart agat go gcaithfeadh gach ball d'fhoireann an ospidéil go cúirtéiseach leat gach tráth le linn cóireála. Tá sé de cheart agat go dtiocfadh do ghaolta agus do chairde, maille le leanaí, ar do thuairisc. Ní foláir don ospidéal a chinntiú nach mbeidh na socruithe cuairte ró-dhocht, go mbeidh siad ag teacht leis an gcineál tinnis atá ort agus le riachtanais na n-othar eile. Tá sé de cheart agat go nglacfaí go hurramach leat ó thaobh do chreidimh agus d'fhealsúnachta. Tá ceart chun príobháideachta agat, go háirithe nuair a bhíonn do chineál tinnis á phlé idir tú féin nó do ghaolta agus foireann an ospidéil. Tá sé de cheart agat ainm an tsainchomhairleora a bhfuil tú faoina chúram a fháil agus i gcás go bhfuil do chás le hiniúchadh ag sainchomhairleoir eile, tá sé de cheart agat go gcuirfí in iúl duit an chúis a bhí leis an sainchomhairleoir eile sin. Tá sé de cheart agat eolas a fháil ar do chineál tinnis nó ar do shláinte i dteanga a thuigeann tú go hiomlán agus tá an ceart agat eolas a fháil: Go ginearálta níor cheart cóireáil a thabhairt d'othar ach amháin lena thoiliú eolach, nó, i gcás linbh, le toiliú tuismitheora nó caomhnóra. Féadfaidh tú a iarraidh go mbeidh do rogha duine nó daoine i láthair nuair a bheidh tú ag cur do thoiliú in iúl. Ba cheart go mbeadh cineál na cóireála atá le cur ort léirithe go soiléir ar an bhfoirm thoilithe a iarrtar ort a shíniú. Ní ceadmhach cóireáil a thabhairt gan toiliú eolach ach amháin i gcásanna nach bhfuil ar chumas an othair a thoiliú a thabhairt nó a dhiúltú agus ina gcinneann dochtúir leighis cáilithe go bhfuil práinn le cóireáil chun an-dochar nó dochar láithreach a sheachaint. Tá tú i dteideal rúndachta iomláine ó thaobh do thaifead leighis. Tá sé de cheart agat a iarraidh ar an ospidéal sonraí as do thaifid leighis ábhartha a chur ar fáil duit. De ghnáth déanfaidh ospidéil amhlaidh ach amháin i gcás go gceaptar go ndéanfadh an t-eolas a lorgaítear dochar mór do do shláinte coirp nó intinne. Sna cásanna sin féadfar an t-eolas a chur ar fáil trí oibrí sláinte gairmiúil, is é sin, do dhochtúir féin de ghnáth. Tá sé de cheart agat diúltú a bheith páirteach i dteagasc sainchomhairleora dá chuid mac léinn leighis. Ní mór do chead a lorg sula bhféadfaidh sainchomhairleoir tú a tharraingt isteach i dteagasc mac léinn. Ba mhór an ní, áfach, do chomhoibriú ó thaobh a chinntiú go mbeidh an oiliúint is fearr is féidir ar fáil d'ábhair dochtúirí. Tá sé de cheart agat diúltú a bheith páirteach in aon tástálacha cliniciúla nó taighde a bhaineann le húsáid drugaí nua nó gaireas leighis. Níor cheart go ndéanfaí tástálacha cliniciúla ná cóireáil thrialach go deo d'uireasa toiliú eolach a bheith faighte uait ag an ospidéal nó ag pearsanra leighis. Tá sé de cheart agat gearán a dhéanamh faoi ghné ar bith de sheirbhís ospidéil, fiosrúchán a chur sa tsiúl faoin ngearán sin agus toradh an fhiosrúcháin a fháil chomh luath agus is féidir. Tá nósanna imeachta sonracha le haghaidh gearán leagtha séos ag d'ospidéal agus ba cheart iad a bheith ar taispeáint go soiléir ar fud an ospidéil mar aon le hainm agus uimhir theileaféin Oifigeach Gearán ainmnithe an ospidéil. Tá sé de cheart agat, sa gcás nach réitítear do ghearán chun do shástachta, an scéal a chur ar aghaidh chuig Coiste Gearán an ospidéil. Feidhmíonn nósanna imeachta gearán an ospidéil gan dochar do do chearta reachtúla gearán a dhéanamh leis an Ombudsman, le Comhairle na nDochtúirí Leighis nó leis an mBord Altranais.
