Purpose of the Post
The provision of high-quality cleaning in line with hospital and national infection control policies, HACCP and Environmental Health Office regulations.
Detalis of Service
The HSE has created six new health regions. Each region is responsible for providing both hospital and community care for the people in that area.
Bringing community health services and hospitals together means we can take a more patient-centred approach to healthcare.
HSE Dublin North East provides health and social care to North Dublin, Louth, Meath, Monaghan and most areas of Cavan.
Community Healthcare Services are delivered through the HSE and its funded agencies to people in local communities, as close as possible to people’s homes.
Community Healthcare Services focus on keeping you well so that you can continue to live at home or close to home through our health promotion, disease screening, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation programs.
You can refer yourself to most Community Healthcare Services or through your GP, public health nurse, community mental health team, etc.
Services include - Primary Care, Social Care - Older Persons, Social Care – Disabilities, Mental Health, Health and Wellbeing, Quality, Safety and Service Improvement.
HSE Dublin North East Region includes the following hospitals;
• Beaumont Hospital
• Cavan General Hospital
• Connolly Hospital
• Louth County Hospital
• National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh

Attached to Virginia, there is a Nurse Led Day care which provides the link with Primary Care, Day Respite and Nursing Support for those living at home. There is also a HSE Day Care Service located in Swanlinbar. The Day Centres have a particular focus, healthy ageing and supporting people to remain healthy and at home for as long as possible.
