Details 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;
The Children Disability Network Services provides support and input to children and young people from age 0 to 18 who have complex needs associated with disabilities.
Input and support will be through a Multidisciplinary Team approach, underpinned by Family Centred Practice and Individual Family Service Planning.
The Team includes Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Physiotherapists, Social Workers,
Administrators, Clinical Nurse Manager, Dietitians and Therapy Assistants.
It is an exciting time to join the Children’s Disabilities Services as we move forward with the reconfiguration of existing services,
in line with the National Policy of Progressing Disability Services. Within this planned change, many new opportunities will be presented to support the progression and development of the service.
