Work With Us
Our Department
We have over more than 50000 annual attendances to our ED. We serve a densely populated catchment area with double the national average of patients >65 years old and a high deprivation index.
Our patient cohort is among the most diverse, high acuity and challenging in the country.
Exceptional collaboration with Intensive Care Medicine, Radiology and our other specialty colleagues is a key characteristic of the department.
Our department is accredited by the Irish Committee for Emergency Medicine Training (ICEMT) for core specialist and advanced specialist training in Emergency Medicine. We are also accredited by the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine for 6 months of emergency medicine training (discretionary time).
Our Team
The multidisciplinary Emergency Medicine team consists of consultants, NCHD’s, nurses, advanced nurse practitioners, social workers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and clinical nurse specialists along with dedicated administrative support.
There is great consultant support and presence on the department floor to guide clinical decision making, facilitate clinical teaching and foster an environment of excellence.
Our Teaching
We have well-established Registrar and SHO teaching programmes and provide a tailored approach to education of our NCHD’s with focus on exam preparation and individual career progression.
We have very high success rates for our EM trainees in primary and fellowship examinations. We run a mentorship programme for our Core and Advanced Trainees, as well as doctors not on formal training schemes. We encourage our doctors to be involved in our audit, quality improvement and research programs.
