PMAS Testimonials

My ankle was giving me trouble for a year and I decided to avail of the PDFORRA MAS scheme, I found out I needed surgery on it.
The best thing I have ever done, I would have been waiting at least 2/3 years publicly but I was only waiting a couple of months with kingsbridge.
The care I received was second to none, I was put up in a lovely hotel the night before the operation and everyone was so accommodating in the hospital the day of the surgery.
Everything ran smoothly and on time and the surgeon explained everything in detail before and after the surgery.
My ankle is so much better now and I am finally back training without pain.
I would highly recommend this scheme to anyone.

The PMAS scheme in my personal opinion is one of the best things a soldier can pay into.
The DF as a whole will not give you the service and medical assistance that is needed for the job we do on a day to day basis. I was injured badly on a DF exercise that was the fault of the kit and equipment I was issued and if it was not for the PMAS scheme I would still be suffering.
For anyone wondering about how effective the PMAS Scheme is,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for joining PMAS.
For last 5 years I have suffered with my back.
I would like to share my experience with PMAS Scheme,
I had been struggling with consistent pain in my right knee where every step was a dart of pain not severe but enough that my quality of life was suffering.
PMAS is an excellent scheme to get Quality Treatment
Much quicker than the normal patient Pathway. For members of PDFORRA its only €1 a week,it’s amazing.
