About Us
The Age-Related Healthcare Department was founded in 1993, based on the recommendations of the Dublin Hospital Group (the Kennedy report) and The Years Ahead report, blueprints for services for the elderly in Ireland.
The department was based up to June 21 1998 in the Meath and Adelaide hospitals and is now based in the William Stokes Unit, a purpose-built unit in the Adelaide and Meath Hospital Dublin Incorporating The National Chilren's Hospital. In conjunction with the dpartments of geriatric medicine of St. James's Hospital and Naas Hospital, we provide specialist secondary and tertiary services for people over 65 in the areas of Southwest and South Central Dublin. Most recently, we have started a liaison/consultation service with Peamount Hospital (Dr. Ronan Collins, and from July 2007, Dr. Tara Coughlan).
