Straight Ahead Ireland

Straight Ahead Ireland Straight Ahead is an orthopaedic medical support group that focus mainly on scoliosis.

To date we have taken over 150 patients off public waiting lists and operated pro bono 💚 Straight Ahead’s Role:

A fantastic team of surgeons, nurses and other medical staff at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin are waiting to complete these surgeries with many of them providing their time for free. In addition a number of Irish medical device companies have generously provided free surgical

implants to ensure that these surgeries are completed for the lowest possible cost. The Straight Ahead team understands that the Minister of Health is trying to find funding to make these cases a priority, but change often takes time, particularly when public health funding is decreasing. The Minister’s commitments are why Straight Ahead has set a one-year limit on its activity. The team hopes that by the end of our one-year project the Minister for Health will have set up a structure to give children and young people with orthopaedic conditions the surgery that they urgently need.

Hi everyone
A lovely mum has given us 5 tickets to Emerald Park to be used before end of December.

Would anyone like them? Her little son can’t go so she kindly gifted them to us.

Hey everyone

Deirdre here 👋

We are looking for some feedback please from those who did the Straight 2 Swimming in all venues.

We are currently helping to get this going again. It’s a long process!

Do you feel your child benefited going because of their scoliosis? If so why?

I know myself I never learned to swim purely because of my scoliosis and scars etc.

Those of you I know personally who have gone absolutely loved it and felt “at ease” and “not alone” having everyone I guess in the same boat.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much 💚

Happy Halloween Everyone! 🎃

Our little pal Noah needs your help! Noah’s dream is to get into this years Late Late Toy show.
He would be just brilliant 🤩
Noah has scoliosis and has been through so much in his life with other conditions too.

He just gets on with things and is a right warrior.

Noah will be facing more surgery after Christmas so it would be great if he could have this to focus on this time around.

We would love to see him on the Toy Show!!!!
