Croom Orthopaedic Hospital has began using a new €15m theatre suite comprising four operating theatres, a new Sterile Services Department, a reception area, a first stage recovery room and other ancillary support spaces.
It is a key part of the effort to rejuvenate and develop Croom Orthopaedic Hospital as a beacon of surgical and nursing excellence and professional advancement, with major benefits for patient experience in the Mid-West. The new complex was developed with funding from the Mid-Western Hospitals Development Trust.
SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION FROM THE JP McMANUS Pro-AM
The Trust has acknowledged the significant contribution from the JP McManus Pro-Am, without whose assistance this new complex would not have been completed. Chief Clinical Director of UL Hospitals Group, Professor Brian Lenehan said “This is the premier operating theatre suite in Ireland and he noted that the hospital will be able to expand our outputs by 100 per cent, and now has a Sterile Services Department that is fit for purpose and future-proofed.”
When fully operational, the development will take Croom from a hospital with five operating surgeons in two theatres, to 10 surgeons in four theatres catering for a wide range of orthopaedic disciplines.
