Galway University Hospital is a major teaching hospital in the west of Ireland. The General and Vascular Surgery team adopted Eolas Medical to support clinical decision-making, particularly around medication information and dosing.
Before Eolas, the team struggled with not having a reliable, quick-access online resource for medications, their doses across different routes, and side-effect profiles. Existing apps and websites were not trusted enough to confidently base clinical decisions on, creating a gap between available resources and the level of reliability required in clinical practice.
The onboarding was relatively easy, driven by peer recommendation. As an intern, the respondent recommended Eolas to other interns and medical students, and continues to do so now as an SHO. The platform's engaging, user-friendly interface meant the team began seeing benefits shortly after adoption — with staff using it at any time of day, including during emergencies.
Eolas has definitively improved team efficiency, with clinicians saving an estimated 10 to 15 minutes per medication query. The platform supports both junior and senior doctors by providing trusted information that aids daily clinical decisions. It has become the go-to resource for medication queries, forgotten doses, and suspected drug interactions.
The impact on patient care has been significant. Having an app that clinicians can fully trust and access at all times on their phones has improved decision-making accuracy. Importantly, Eolas empowers junior doctors to think independently — encouraging them to look for answers to their questions and develop their own clinical reasoning skills.
Staff feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with colleagues reporting that Eolas enables fast and accurate decisions based on a trustworthy resource, and helps build a solid, ever-growing foundation of knowledge. Staff have expressed that they could not go back to a time without it.
"My experience with Eolas Medical has been incredibly positive. As an doctor at Galway University Hospital, I have found the platform to be an invaluable resource, especially for medication information. It has significantly improved our team's efficiency, enabling us to make faster and more accurate decisions, which is crucial in clinical settings. The app is user-friendly and accessible at all times, making it a reliable tool for both junior and senior doctors. I can confidently say that Eolas has enhanced both our team's knowledge and patient care, and it's my go-to for medication queries. It's a must-have for any medical professional!"
