The Emergency Department (ED) at Tipperary University Hospital is currently experiencing increased presentations of patients.
 
Management at the hospital asks members of the public to only attend the hospital in the case of an emergency. Where possible, a GP or Caredoc out-of-hours service should be consulted in the first instance.
 
The Injury Unit located in Cashel is operational Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm. We are asking people to consider all their care and treatment options and keep the ED services for the patients who critically need them.
 
The Emergency Department is under continued pressure with high numbers presenting with a variety of complex needs.
However, if members of the public are seriously injured, ill or are worried that their life is at risk, the ED will assess and treat them as a priority.
 
Staff and management are working to prioritise the discharge of patients as soon as possible where appropriate.
 
The staff and management at TippUH apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank the public for their patience.
