Business Manager, University Hospital
Grade VII Business Manager, Cork University Hospital (initial vacancy in Radiology & Endoscopy) The Diagnostics Directorate is led by a Clinical Director. The Business Manager works closely with the Clinical Director in planning and delivering projects that support and develop the Departments within the Directorate, and in ensuring the smooth operation of the Departments. The services are shared across all other Clinical Directorates, therefore there is a requirement for good communication and collaboration with other Business Managers and senior medical and nursing colleagues. The Department of Radiology at CUH incorporates all radiological imaging within CUH which acts as the regional Cancer Centre of Excellence, level 1 Trauma Centre, Tertiary Neurosurgical and Neuroscience Centre and Paediatric Centre. Over recent years the Department has had significant expansion with multiple new services having been developed at Cork University Hospital as well as the transfer of breast cancer treatment, prostate cancer treatment, and maternity services. There is an additional CT machine currently underway in the ED extension, and the offsite outpatient facility will also entail additional imaging. The Endoscopy Department of CUH Endoscopy is a central element in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) disease. The provision of a high quality, timely and accurate service with an associated quality patient experience is a key service goal. Patients have a right to expect that they have appropriate access to the service and that the service provided is of the highest possible standard. In 2015 the service moved to a purpose built Endoscopy suite which allows for a patient pathway that meets the needs of a modern patient focused service. In 2019 Cork University Hospital were awarded JAG Accreditation in recognition of the focus on delivering and maintaining the highest level of Endoscopy patient quality & care. There is a project underway to develop an additional two endoscopy rooms adjacent to the current unit. The Neurophysiology Department is located near the Blackwater suite. This rapidly growing Department provides EEG, EMG and other studies for the assessment and diagnosis of neurological disorders, and entails inpatient and outpatient services. All of the services are clinically led by Consultants and technically and operationally led by Nurses and Health and Social Care staff. The Business Manager supports those healthcare professionals in the day to day operation of the units, the strategic planning of the services, the execution of projects that advance the services, and the coordination of administration functions.
