<\/p>\nKingsbridge Healthcare Group has said that a number of roles may be “impacted” at its private hospital in Sligo as the company looks to move to a “new care model”.<\/p>\n
Kingsbridge currently employs 83 staff members in Sligo and also has private hospitals in Belfast and Derry.<\/p>\n
However, it is only staff in Sligo that will be implicated by the changes.<\/p>\n
Staff were informed at a meeting last week that retraining or redeployment to other roles may take place.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Kingsbridge Healthcare Group said: “Following a strategic review, Kingsbridge Healthcare Group will be implementing a new service model and investing in the future of Kingsbridge Private Hospital in Sligo.<\/p>\n
“As part of this transition to a new care model, a number of roles may be impacted.<\/p>\n
“The company is engaging directly with those affected and is committed to exploring retraining and redeployment opportunities at the upgraded facility, and to supporting all employees fully throughout the process.”<\/p>\n
It has not been confirmed if the process will directly result in redundancies at the hospital.<\/p>\n
Nominated employee representatives are said to be liaising with Kingsbridge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kingsbridge Private Hospital said it will remain open throughout the process, and there will be no disruption to services at the Sligo hospital.<\/p>\n
The company said details of the investment into the Sligo facility are to be announced in due course.<\/p>\n
Cathaoirleach of Sligo County Council and Fianna F\u00e1il councillor D\u00f3nal Gilroy said that potential redundancies at the hospital would be “devastating for the area”.<\/p>\n
“Kingsbridge provide a lot of healthcare that would not be available in public hospitals,” he told RT\u00c9 News. “They have provided an overflow facility when necessary.<\/p>\n
“We hope that this will not reflect a loss of services in the area and that they will continue to provide the day services that they have done for many years.”<\/p>\n
Local Independent TD Marian Harkin and other Sligo TDs said they would be writing to management at Kingsbridge Healthcare Group to seek further information on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kingsbridge Healthcare Group has said that a number of roles may be “impacted” at its private hospital in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":489777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-489776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
