We really appreciate the free medical magazine. It has very interesting articles and our patients enjoy reading it while they wait.
Kerry Naismith, Clinical Nurse Manager,
The Well at Beacon Consultants Clinic, Sandyford

With its attractive presentation, relevant, clear photos and use of ‘everyday language’ our patients and visitors enjoy picking up the ‘Waiting Room’ to browse through it. The demand for the magazine has been high, since its introduction to the Mater in 2010. I have been personally impressed by the quality and relevance of the content for its target readership. I would venture to say that we welcome this initiative on behalf of our patients and visitors. Continued success!

We introduced the Waiting Room Magazine in 2010 to our hospital, the feedback is positive as it is a professional publication with interesting articles.
Mark Towey, Chief Executive Officer, St Joseph’s Private Hospital Sligo

Thank you for sending on the waiting room magazine. It is well received and I often notice patients taking copies home with them. I keep a few past copies for this reason. Keep up the great work!

As a result of the article in The Waiting Room Magazine a group of masters students from DCU contacted me and came along to do a 10 minute documentary on me. I’m looking forward to see their take on Helena Chocolates as they were very professional in their whole approach. Thanks to you this came off and again my sincere thanks to you.

I visited a GP practice last week and found the magazine a great read! Good variety of articles taht kept me engaged during my wait, and I brought the magazine home, too. I thought the child vaccination tracker service from irishhealth.com is very handy… you could put that in every issue. I would like to wish all the team the very best of success with future editions.

The idea for The Waiting Room Magazine was born out of the realisation that there was not even a single magazine that was of interest to me on my GP’s waiting-room table. 90 per cent of them were popular women’s magazines, and 90 per cent of that lot were many months out of date, some over a year old; even my female co-patients didn’t seem to be overly interested. Listlessly, I flicked through a few; what else can you do in a GP’s waiting room? The only non-fashion glossies were, a cookery magazine, a dog-eared fishing magazine and one on gardening but, as I am not a cook, and I neither garden nor fish, that occupied all of five minutes. I sat back, closed my eyes (which were paining me anyway) and considered.

It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that a general magazine was what was needed, a one-size-fits-all publication that had content for men, women and children, of all ages and interests. That was obvious, and it only needed a small bit of content for as many categories as possible, enough to occupy each sector for the 15/20 minutes that they waited. Variety had to be the keyword. That, too, was a no-brainer.
