Covid-19 has changed everyone’s lives and Tallaght University Hospital has already made several adaptations so that it can continue to care for and protect their vulnerable patients. As long as there is a need – and there will be for quite some time – the Hospital will not stop innovating.
With your continued help, the Hospital can implement even more vital projects and initiatives that go beyond the obvious to create a safer and more responsive environment. But they'll need your help. We have a list of projects that need your support now by giving what you can to TUHF today. ( Details will be listed shortly - for more immediate information contact us on info@tuhf.ie. In the meantime you can read what we have achieved over the last 18 months below)

With your support, we want to be able to invest in an ultrasound machine to run the haematuria clinic in our recently opened Reeves Day Surgical Unit.
This machine will allow us offer further additional clinics requiring ultrasound & reduce waiting lists.
Although, we already have am ultrasound machine, there are currently 189 patients awaiting investigation for haematuria, with a wait time of 0-30 months. The patients require an ultrasound prior to the clinic – this adds to their overall wait time. An average of 4 haematuria patients are booked into the procedure clinic per week (out of a total of 24 patients) – this is the maximum number that can be accommodated in this clinic, as each haematuria patient appointment takes between 45 minutes to an hour. The waiting list and wait time directly reflects the fact that we cannot book as many patients through per week as we need to.
People with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Processing Disorder can be very vulnerable; in particular, when they find themselves in an unfamiliar or stressful situation as could be the case when attending the Emergency Department.
The aim of the new Sensory Room is to improve the experience for patients attending the ED with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Processing Disorders. It will also help medical professionals in treating these patients.
Thanks to your generosity, these projects are completed and changing lives.
Keeping patients apart from their loved ones has become a necessity during the Covid-19 crisis.
But thanks to our donor's generosity, and support from Apple, each ward is now equipped with an encased iPad allowing patients to stay in touch with families and friends.
Cocooning measures, combined with the need to reduce footfall at the hospital, saw many at risk people not attending the hospital last year. As these measures remain in place. We have, with your help, been in a position to support the hospital deliver virtual consultations so that the out-patients who are unable to visit in person can still have their appointments from home via video conference. Thank YOU.
The Hospital's wards are always busy, and medical teams often need access to clinical areas and workstations at the same time. With social distancing, this has become increasingly difficult to manage as staff can no longer congregate in one area. To combat this problem and comply with the HSE guidelines, the Hospital has bought mobile workstations which will now help provide easy access to ICT systems anywhere on the ward, protecting staff and patients and reducing the risk of infection. A massive thank you for your support. By helping our staff stay safe, you are giving them the chance to do their jobs with far less stress and concern. And by adding a layer of protection through mobile workstations, you can help to ensure the wellbeing of patients in every area of the Hospital.
Thanks to our generous donors, TUHF has delivered a surgical robotic programme known as da Vinci Surgical System for the benefit of TUH and its patients that brings TUH in line with leading hospitals internationally.
Thanks to donors, TUH will now be able to offer an alternative option to open surgery and perform complex minimally invasive surgical procedures with precision and accuracy to over 200 patients annually, making a significant difference on how TUH will deliver excellent patient care.
TUHF is thrilled to be in a position to invest €2m in this state-of-the-art medical technology that assures better patient outcomes and enhanced efficiency. A massive thank you to all our donors and supporters that continue to back our vision to radically improve the quality of care through healthcare investment.
A generous donation from the Community Foundation, paired with funds from community fundraising campaigns, has helped us to establish 15 new Rest & Reconnect rooms around the hospital for our staff to mind their health and well-being during Covid-19.
From managing rapid change to caring for those enduring this most difficult virus, we can all unite as a Foundation, a Hospital, and a Community to put real force behind TUHF's vision for healthcare. A vision that will not only see us safely through this crisis but also show us what we are truly capable of achieving. We want you to be a part of our vision.
