Beaumont Hospital’s nursing team is dynamic and innovative and make an enormous contribution to patient care and are driven by achieving excellence, continuous improvement and innovation in their work.
Beaumont Hospitals nursing team are committed to our nurses’ professional and personal development. As a hospital, we actively support and encourage our nursing staff, at all levels, to enhance their skills, develop and expand their professional practice, and participate in continuing training and postgraduate education programmes.
One of the key priorities for nurses in Beaumont Hospital is our commitment to nurse education, training and development. With our academic partners, Dublin City University and The Royal College of Surgeons; we provide education from undergraduate nursing to PHD level students each year. Together with our academic partners we facilitate, support and fund a number of accredited postgraduate courses in a wide range of specialities. The Centre for Learning and Development offers a broad range of Accredited Foundation courses or short courses either via e-learning or specific clinical facilitated study days.
We are a collaborative team of highly skilled healthcare professionals striving to provide exceptional care and support to our patients in an open, welcoming and safe environment, where unconditional respect for patients, family members and staff as individuals is our priority. The Department of Nursing has transformed patient access pathways by enhancing our workforce to ensure that we have specialist nurses and carers, equipped with the knowledge, values and skills that are necessary to achieve this goal.
The Nursing Department led by the Director of Nursing, Sinead Connolly, has a broad scope of responsibility for nursing and healthcare assistants across our campus. The Director of Nursing leads nurses within six individual directorate structures, St Joseph’s Hospital, Site Manger Out of Hours Service, Centre for Nurse Education and Development, a Nurse led Homecare Team, Infection Prevention & Control Team, Enhanced Health Care Assistant Team & Nurse Bank Service.
