The Change Guide features helpful and practical advice from practitioners, leaders, service users, and staff that focuses on people and culture. This Change Guide supports service and quality improvement, and is intended to complement the transformation work taking place within the Health Service Executive (HSE).
Last year the Taskforce on Personalised Budgets Report recommended several pilot projects be rolled out to test various models of delivering personal budgets. The first phase of these project rollouts will take place later this year with the HSE currently looking for 90 people to take part.

International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative
From September, 2019, the descriptions, labels, and instructions for the use of modified food and drink products will change as Ireland is adopting the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI). This means that Ireland will describe modified food and thickened drinks in the same way as many other countries across the world.
