HSE Mid-West are hiring Staff Nurse General.
Suitably experienced applicants from the General Division of the register of Nurses kept by the Nursing Midwifery Board Ireland are invited to apply for this post (or those who are entitled to be registered).
The Health Service Executive (HSE) is responsible for the provision of all health and personal social care services in the Republic of Ireland.
With an annual budget in 2024 of €24 billion and over 150,000 employed in the HSE and the Section 38 Agencies with which the HSE has Service Level Agreements (SLAs), the HSE is the largest employer in the State and the largest of any public sector organisation.
The Health Regions Implementation involves the internal reorganisation of the HSE into six operational regions with responsibility for the planning and coordinated delivery of health and social care services within their respective defined geographies.
While the full implementation will be a multi-year journey, the Health Region approach was stood up in March 2024 and will continue to progress throughout 2024 and 2025.
These new arrangements are fundamental to the delivery of Sláintecare reforms and aim to improve the health service's ability to deliver timely integrated care to patients and service users, care that is planned and funded in line with their needs at regional and local level.
In addition, the following will be delivered:
Alignment of hospital-based and community-based services to deliver joined-up, integrated care closer to home. Clarification and strengthening of corporate and clinical governance and accountability at all levels. A population-based approach to service planning and delivery. A balanced national consistency with local autonomy to maintain consistent quality of care across the country. An efficient, highly productive and transparent health and social care service with aligned incentives to provide people with timely access to safe, high quality integrated care. Support for local and regional innovations in service improvement for adoption across regions or at national level as appropriate The changes in healthcare governance arrangements are being designed to make our services easier to navigate for people, and to facilitate more integrated care, stronger accountability, and greater transparency across the sector.
This in turn aims to foster change and innovation at a local level to deliver high-quality services to populations based on their needs, making our service a better place to work for our staff.
The move to a regionalised approach, represents a major shift in the approach to the planning, funding and delivery of health and social care services.
In line with international best practice, the new arrangements will support a population-based approach to the planning and resourcing of the geographic delivery of services to improve health outcomes for people in Ireland.
As part of these reforms, the operational focus is moving from the HSE Centre to the Health Regions and Integrated Healthcare Areas (IHAs), to allow the regional structures to have the intended level of appropriate authority and operational control of services in their region.
The HSE Centre will develop and oversee standards and guidelines for implementation at regional level.
The focus of HSE Centre will be supporting the Health Regions on planning, enabling, performance and assurance (PEPA).
Purpose of the Post The Staff Nurse will assess, plan, implement and evaluate care to the highest professional and ethical standards within the model of nursing care practiced in the relevant care setting.
