Public benefits

The direct benefits that flow from the purpose are: - The diagnosis of illness and physical injury and - The relief of pain and suffering as a result of receiving medical treatment The benefits are evidenced through feedback from patients, regulation of services by RQIA (Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority) and

regular independent evaluation by CHKS (Caspe Healthcare Knowledge Systems). The charity’s beneficiaries are those patients who require diagnosis and treatment of illness. The indirect benefits that flow from the purpose are: - Provision of training for student nurses, radiographers and physiotherapists who will be able to diagnose illness and physical injury and relieve pain and suffering as a result of providing medical treatment. - Provision of meeting and training facilities for several Northern Ireland Healthcare Groups who will be able to diagnose illness and physical injury and relieve pain and suffering as a result of providing medical treatment. - More healthcare facilities are available to the public, as the members of the general public, who use the organisation’s services, relieve pressure on the public sector healthcare services. The wider benefits that flow from the purpose are:- - Financial Contribution to public healthcare sector through the purchase of services and the acquisition of drugs at market value. The purpose of our charity may lead to unintended harm as a result of medical treatment. We can show that this harm is outweighed by the benefits through our internal audit of clinical quality indicators.
