With over 40 different Medical and Surgical Specialties, Cork University Hospital (CUH) is the largest University Teaching Hospital in Ireland and the only Level 1 Trauma Centre in the country serving a population of 1.1 million for its tertiary services. The Hospital currently employs approximately 4,000 staff of multiple professions and is the primary teaching hospital for the Faculty of Health and Science in University College Cork.
The Biomedical Engineering Department currently has fifteen engineers and one administrative support staff. The engineers provide technical and clinical support for the diverse and complex medical devices equipment in the different clinical areas of the hospital, such as theatres, maternity services, intensive care units, dialysis, cardiology, endoscopy, and laboratories.
Engineers from the Biomedical Engineering Department form part of the multi-disciplinary Product Evaluation Group (PEG) as part of a tendering process. In these instances, they provide engineering expertise, formulating the necessary technical specifications that meet the clinical requirements. They perform the product evaluations with the other members of the PEG. Following the purchase of the medical devices, they assist in overseeing the installation, commissioning, and recording of the medical devices.
Engineers provide clinical support and consultancy services to the business managers, services managers, medical staff, and other H&SCP. They also provide lectures and training to various Clinical Staff within the hospital, such as the Anaesthetic Department and the School of Nursing on particular medical devices. Engineers based at Cork University Hospital also support Mallow General Hospital and Bantry General Hospital.
As the complexity, interconnectivity, and interdependence of medical devices continue to grow, our engineers work closely in partnership with other engineering grades in the health sector, such as those supporting and overseeing ICT, Hospital Networks, and Estates.
