Details of Service

The HSE has created six new health regions. Each region is responsible for providing both hospital and community care for the people in that area. Bringing community health services and hospitals together means we can take a more patient-centred approach to healthcare.

HSE West and North West is responsible for the provision of all acute and community services across the 6 counties of Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal and is operationally divided into 4 Integrated Health Areas (IHAs) – Galway/Roscommon IHA, Mayo IHA, Sligo/Leitrim/West Cavan/South Donegal IHA and Donegal IHA, each managed by an Integrated Health Area (IHA) Manager.

HSE West North West Region includes the following hospitals -

· Letterkenny University Hospital

· Mayo University Hospital

· Merlin Park University Hospital

· Portiuncula University Hospital

· Roscommon University Hospital

· Sligo University Hospital

· University Hospital Galway

It is envisaged that the Recovery Coordinator role will have a cross IHA or regional lens.
