Annual General Meeting and Information Evening

Posted on February 4th, 2010

The Cleft Lip and Palate Association of Ireland is holding its Annual General Meeting and an Information Evening on Thursday, 15th April, 2010, at 8pm. Doors open from 7:15pm.

Venue: The Louis Fitzgerald Hotel (near Joel’s), Newland’s Cross, Naas Road, Dublin 22. (Location Map below).

The Information Evening theme is “SPEECH AND HEARING“.

Following our successful event last year, ‘Dental Care All the Way’, this year we are concentrating on Speech and Hearing. We will be looking at each area separately and where they overlap. We are delighted to have three excellent speakers for the event.

• Nicole Prenderville, Senior Speech and Language Therapist, Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital,  Crumlin.
• Rob Wormald, Senior Ear Nose and Throat Registrar, Children’s University Hospital, Temple Street.
• Julianne Gillen, Community Resource and Access Officer, DeafHear.ie

The information evening is aimed at parents, but will also be of interest to adults born with cleft or medical personnel working in this area.  Carers or close relations are also welcome.  While admission is free, we would appreciate an email, text or call in advance, so that we have an idea of likely numbers attending.

Urgently Required - New Committee Members

Posted on November 22nd, 2009

We urgently need two new committee members to cover for a vacancy and for new projects that we want to undertake.

The committee meets 10 times a year in the Bankers Club in Dublin 2.  Meetings last from 8:15pm to 10:30pm approximately.  We divide work to suit our respective talents and interests.  We always try to maintain a balance in keeping work manageable for volunteers and doing all the things we want to do to make life better for families.  If you can help in some way please phone 087 131 9803 or email info@cleft.ie

Information Leaflets Update

Posted on October 11th, 2009

We have recently secured funding from the Lotto that will part pay for the reprint of our 10 leaflet series.  We are reviewing the series during the month of October and would appreciate feedback from you.

Send your comments to info@cleft.ie.

We are also working on producing supplemental leaflet that will address specific procedures that occur later in treatment e.g Braces, Bone Graft. This will be a slower process as we will need to work on content, ensure quality and accuracy with our medical colleagues and of course go to print.  If you would be interested in contributing to this process please contact us by e-mail.

Many thanks,
Georgina Wade
