The Assisted Admissions Team provides a specialised patient transport service on behalf of the HSE for the transfer to or return of a person to an approved centre in accordance with section 13 and section 27, of the Mental Health Act, 2001. Due to the highly sensitive nature of this service the Allied Admissions team ensures the process is conducted in a professional, empathetic manner ensuring the dignity and privacy of the person is protected at all times.
The Team
Our allied Admissions team abide by their professional codes of practice to ensure each admission runs smoothly and respectfully. The service is provided as required within 24 hours or less, depending on the needs of the person. The team will be dispatched following a request by the Clinical Director of the Approved Centre.
The team is psychiatric nurse led and is made up of specially trained members with at least one female member. All of our team members are approved by the HSE and are specifically trained with regard to Assisted Admissions.
The project is led and managed by a very experienced team who have many years experience providing mental health care in Ireland.
