Details of the Service
The HSE has established six Health Regions, each responsible for the planning, resourcing, and delivery of integrated hospital and community health and social care services. This approach supports a more patient-centred model of care by bringing services closer to the communities they serve.

Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown, located in North Dublin, is a Model 3 major teaching hospital delivering a comprehensive range of acute services, including:
Acute medical inpatient services
Elective surgical services
24-hour emergency care

Outpatient services
Care is delivered through multidisciplinary teams comprising medical, nursing, allied health professionals, management, administration, and general support staff, who are central to the development, delivery, monitoring, and evaluation of services.

Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) for medical education
Dublin City University (DCU) for nursing education
