This week, our lovely patient manager Leanne visited St Joseph Aviate Credit Union at Dublin Airport 🇮🇪 as part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen partnerships that help make the EU Cross Border Directive more accessible for Irish patients.

The Cross Border Directive allows patients in Ireland to access prompt medical treatment in another EU country, with the HSE reimbursing costs up to the equivalent of treatment in Ireland. ✨

By working closely with local credit unions, our goal is to help reduce financial barriers, so that patients can focus on getting the care they need without unnecessary delay. ⏳

Together, we’re helping to make access to treatment through the Cross Border Directive more straightforward and supportive for patients. ✨

When pain becomes part of your everyday life, it’s easy to adapt… to work around it, to push through it, to accept it. ❤️‍🩹

But you don’t have to. ✨

In our latest blog, we sit down with orthopaedic surgeon Dr David Gonzalez from Traumacare Clinic to talk about upper limb pain, treatment options, and what life can look like on the other side of surgery.

From understanding your diagnosis to knowing what to expect before and after treatment, this conversation offers real insight, reassurance, and hope for anyone living with shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand pain. 💡🤝

If you’ve been putting up with discomfort for too long, this might be the sign to start looking for answers. 🔍

Because it’s not just about surgery… it’s about getting your life back. 💙

It doesn’t usually happen overnight, It starts small. A shoulder that aches when you lie in bed, a wrist that doesn’t feel as strong as it used to, an elbow that reminds you it’s there every time you lift something simple. At first, you work around it, you adjust how you move, how you sleep,

Julie’s story is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to wait months just to be seen ✨ From her first call to surgery in less than a month, to just 2 days later, Julie was already pain-free and enjoying life again ✨

“I would like to thank Surgery Now from the bottom of my heart, I’m sitting here on my hotel balcony pain-free 2 days after a total hip replacement. If you’re stuck on a waiting list waiting to even be seen by a consultant then pick up the phone and call the team, It was less than a month from my initial call to my surgery. Thanks to Keith, Hally and Scott, nothing was too much trouble, no question too silly. (sorry for plaguing you Hally)

Thanks for giving my life back x”

Wishing Julie a smooth recovery, continued strength and plenty more bright, pain-free days ahead ✨
