About CHI

Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) operates as a single service across the existing Dublin children’s hospitals, Crumlin, Temple Street and Tallaght. Also, the paediatric outpatients and urgent care centres, Connolly which opened in July 2019 and Tallaght which is due to open in 2020. CHI governs and operates local paediatric services for the Greater Dublin Area and all national paediatric specialist services, some of which are on an all-island basis.

The Children’s Hospital Group and the relevant Boards in each of the Children’s Hospitals considered a proposed Corporate and Clinical Governance paper in February 2014 and approved the need to progress with a clinical directorate structure to underpin how paediatric services are managed across the Hospital Group.

 

Particular Purpose of these Posts

The existing CHI Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering departments will merge in the next two years to form the base for a new Healthcare Technology Department (HTD). This new department will provide the typical range of services associated with the practice of medical physics and clinical engineering, including financial stewardship of the medical equipment. However, this new department will also develop new services to support the digital transformation of CHI including integration of medical equipment into ICT systems and providing leadership to accelerate the adoption of innovations afforded by the new digital environment.

The new HTD will provide technical and clinical support for the diverse and complex medical equipment in the different clinical areas of the new hospital, and across all the existing CHI sites. Clinical areas supported include, but are not limited to: theatres, intensive care units, cardiology, imaging, paediatric oncology, nephrology, neurology, ophthalmology, the central decontamination unit and laboratories.
 
As the complexity, interconnectivity and interdependence of medical equipment continues to grow, HTD staff will work more closely in partnership with other departments within CHI, such as those supporting and overseeing ICT, Hospital Networks and Estates.
 
The Clinical Engineering Technician, will work as part of the HTD providing Clinical Engineering and Technical support to all hospital medical equipment including diagnostic, analytical, therapeutic, surgical, and life support systems in Children’s Health Ireland Group as directed by the local reporting relationship.
The post holder will rotate through a number of speciality teams within the HTD and gain experience of how medical equipment is used and supported across CHI.
 
Additionally, there will be a requirement to provide annual leave cover to other speciality areas, and support across any of the CHI city wide sites.
Having due regard to service needs, the successful candidates will liaise with other staff and grades within and outside the service/line manager as necessitated to ensure that the medical equipment is operated and maintained so as to support safe, effective, and efficient delivery of clinical services.
