Purpose of role:
CHI
The National Model of Care for Neonatal Services (HSE, 2015) envisaged the opening of an 18- bed NICU in the new children’s hospital staffed by Neonatologists.
These posts will be committed to the development of a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at CHI as the service ramps up to the new National Children’s Hospital and expands its medical workforce. It is a key step in building a team to deliver neonatal intensive care medical cover.. The new children’s hospital forms part of National Model of Care for Paediatric Healthcare Services in Ireland (HSE, 2016), in support of the delivery of safe and appropriate care to paediatric patients from birth.
The Coombe Hospital
The intensity of neonatal intensive care medicine has changed over time. Development of foetal medicine services mean that more babies survive increasing the need for intensive care. National guidelines now suggest management and supportive care for babies born from 23 completed gestational weeks onwards, with many babies now surviving that were born less than 500g. There is an increasing need for consistent onsite consultant presence in the Neonatal ICU both to provide medical care for the infants and to support our junior doctors in specialist training.
These posts are in support of delivering on the National Model of Care for Neonatal Services (HSE, 2015), which noted an increasing workload in both tertiary neonatal centres and in the paediatric hospitals. The model affirmed that increased staffing is essential to ensure sustainability in neonatal services in Ireland, while improving safety and quality, improving access, and improving cost-effectiveness.
