Refurbishment of Emergency Department resuscitation room completed

The GHA has completed a refurbishment of the resuscitation room within the Emergency Department in the St Bernard’s Hospital.

The resuscitation room is critical in providing life-saving equipment and drugs and support to patients in the most vulnerable of circumstances, said a statement from the GHA.

“The work has facilitated the access to lifesaving which is necessary in critical circumstances and further enhances the GHA healthcare provision,” said the statement.

The project was undertaken in coordination with the intensive care team, supported by the executive team, and delivered by the estate management under the supervision senior members of the Emergency Department.

GHA Director General, Prof Patrick Geoghegan said: “This new refurbished facility is going to improve the way in which we work and provide care to patients when they need it the most.”

“It is another upgrade to the hospital care facilities within the last few months, in particular within our Emergency Department which has recently seen the introduction of a Minor Injuries Unit”.
