The University Maternity Hospital in Limerick have been using Attend Anywhere since May 2020. Hospital staff are now seeing nearly 100 patients per week, including one-on-one consultations as well as hosting Gestational Diabetes and Insulin Initiation clinics. 

Attend Anywhere also allows you engage with a wide variety of people. Yvonne Moloney, a Registered Advanced Midwife Practitioner: ​

Interpreters can also join the calls if necessary.
