“Tallaght Hospital”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Adelaide and Meath Hospital, Dublin, incorporating the National Children's Hospital (AMNCH; {{lang-ga|Ospidéal Adelaide agus na Mí, Baile Átha Cliath, ina gcorpraítear Ospidéal Náisiúnta na Leanaí}}), often referred to simply as Tallaght Hospital ({{lang-ga|Ospidéal Thamhlachta}}), is a teaching hospital in Tallaght,^[1] County Dublin, Ireland. Its academic partner is the University of Dublin, Trinity College. The hospital was established by parliamentary Charter in 1996 and was formally opened in 1998 as a successor to the Adelaide Hospital (1839), Meath Hospital (1753) and National Children's Hospital (1821).

Tallaght Hospital claims to have a culture based on knowledge, talent and expertise and that the healthcare team always strive to provide the best possible care for every patient.^[2]

History

Planning for Tallaght began in 1981 when the Department of Health appointed the Tallaght Hospital Board to oversee the planning, building and equipping of the Hospital. In 1985 Architectural Competition results were published and Robinson Keefe Devane was appointed.

Construction was approved in 1993. Building commenced in October 1993 and was completed in 1998. The hospital was established under a Charter, agreed in Dáil Éireann 1 August 1996. It is a public voluntary teaching Hospital.

The move to Tallaght was a carefully planned and extremely smooth running operation thanks to the huge effort from staff and volunteers. From 23 June, new patients were admitted to the hospital and clinical activity built up steadily.^[3]

In November 2011, Minister for Health James Reilly announced "radical governance reforms" for Tallaght Hospital.^[4]

Adelaide Hospital

The Adelaide Hospital was founded in 1839 to serve the poor Protestant population of Dublin. Like the Meath Hospital and the National Children's Hospital it was a voluntary hospital, its survival dependent on the generosity of others and the dedication of its staff.

Famous for its nursing school (the worlds first) which was founded in 1859 by Miss Bramwell who had worked with Florence Nightingale in the Crimea, the Adelaide Hospital has been at the forefront of many medical advances.

It was, for example, the first general hospital in Dublin to introduce a skin clinic (in 1868), a gynaecological unit (in 1868) and the bacteriological control of milk (in 1904).^[5]

Meath hospital

The Meath Hospital, the oldest of the three hospitals, was founded in 1753. Situated in the'liberty' of the earl of County Meath the hospital was opened to serve the sick and poor in the crowded area of The Liberties.

In the 19th century the hospital achieved worldwide fame as a result of the revolutionary teaching methods and groundbreaking research carried out by Graves and Stokes, physicians of the hospital.

In more recent times the hospital developed specialised services in the fields of urology, psychiatry, orthopaedics, haematology, endocrinology and nephrology.^[6]

National Children's Hospital

In 1821 a number of eminent Dublin doctors, concerned with the lack of treatment available for sick children in the city, founded the National Children's Hospital.^[7]

It was the first hospital devoted exclusively to the care and treatment of sick children in Ireland or Great Britain. Indeed, one of the hospitals early students, Dr. Charles West, returned to London and founded Great Ormond St. Hospital in 1852.^[8]
