The Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) Department at TUH requires a specialized SLT endoscopy chair. Join us in raising €9,000 to provide this essential equipment.
While our existing chair has provided support for vital nasendoscopy exams. A nasendoscopy exam is a medical procedure where a small tube with a camera is inserted through the nose to look inside the nose and throat. It is used by Speech and Language therapists to carry out voice and swallow
examinations to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of voice and swallowing disorders. We have identified a new chair that will help alleviate patients discomfort, prevent staff experiencing back strain and provide more effective head and neck support to our patients when undergoing this exam.

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.
Thanks to your generosity, these projects are completed and changing lives.

At Tallaght University Hospital, we provide the best care and support to our patients, staff, and visitors. In celebration of the TUH 25th Anniversary many of our amazing healthcare colleagues are fundraising to enhance the well-being and quality of life within the hospital environment.
Tallaght University Hospital Foundation (TUHF) has introduced the Canon Aquilion ONE PRISM Edition CT Scanner with Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assisted Decision Making to its Emergency Department (ED). This advanced scanner, backed by a €2 million investment from TUHF, will significantly enhance patient care and outcomes, especially for critical cases like strokes. The Canon Aquilion Prime SP 160 CT Scanner boasts top-tier imaging technology while minimizing radiation exposure for patients. Coupled with Brainomix AI software and a simulation laboratory, this scanner empowers ED patients with superior emergency medical care. The Brainomix AI software swiftly identifies stroke-related brain damage, aiding clinicians in making rapid and reliable decisions. Gratitude was expressed towards donors, including partner Bartra Healthcare, for making this technology possible. This acquisition reflects TUHF's commitment to innovative patient care. The new CT scanner also helps alleviate the strain on the Radiology Department, reducing wait times for both general and ED patients. The partnership between TUHF and Bartra Healthcare exemplifies their dedication to improved healthcare services and patient well-being.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Together we can put real force behind TUHF's vision for healthcare. Are you with us?
