Patient Advisory Liaison Service (PALS)

About us

The Patient Advisory Liaison Service or PALS for short can assist you in the following ways:

  • Help to resolve difficulties that may arise in relation to Hospital services or care.
  • Assist you and provide information about services  within the hospital.
  • Listen to your comments in relation to the services provided by the hospital.
  • Co-ordinate and manage the investigation into your complaints.

If you have any concerns about any aspect of your care or service in Beaumont Hospital, we advise you to speak to the person in charge of the area. They will address your concerns as quickly as possible.

If your concerns cannot be resolved at local level or if you wish to make a formal complaint, please contact PALS. We provide a personal and confidential service to patients, family members and visitors to Beaumont Hospital. We will listen to your concerns and advise you on how to resolve them.   If you wish to make a formal complaint, PALS will assist via the complaint policy.

If you are making a complaint on behalf of someone else we will need their consent before we can share any confidential information with you.

Complaint related information is not stored in the patient’s medical chart and only staff involved in responding will be aware of your concerns.

Please see the Patient Information Leaflet on the Management of Complaints here.

Please be aware that the information we collect from you will be recorded and stored on the National Information Management System (NIMS)
