This includes 18.50 hours per week at CHI at Temple Street and 18.50 hours per week at CHI at Tallaght.
Purpose of the Role:
Strategy:
i)
To reduce extremely long waiting lists for outpatient clinic review: currently there is a two year waiting list for a routine new appointment with a consultant in paediatric respiratory medicine at CHI at Temple Street and 1 year at CHI at Tallaght.
ii)
To reduce waiting lists for investigations of sleep disordered breathing.
Currently there is a two year waiting list for overnight studies to diagnose these disorders e.g. overnight oxygen and carbon dioxide studies and overnight oxygen studies.
There is a two year waiting list for both of these studies at CHI at Temple St. At CHI at Tallaght, there is a 20 month waiting list for overnight oxygen and carbon dioxide studies, a 29-month with for overnight oxygen studies and a 5 month waiting list for cardiorespiratory polygraphy (CRPG).
iii)
To reduce waiting times for investigations to assess and regularly monitor gas exchange in children on long term ventilation (e.g. CPAP and BIPAP: overnight sleep study waiting times as outlined above.
Specialities whose workload will change:
This will reduce the waiting time for patients referred for Respiratory review and investigation from other specialties including ENT, Neurology, Orthopaedics, Metabolic, Endocrine, Neuro-disability, General Paediatrics, Craniofacial etc.
This will reduce waiting time for GP referrals for secondary and tertiary respiratory review.
Respiratory service:
Currently, there is a two year waiting list for routine new outpatient paediatric Respiratory appointments in CHI at Temple St. and a one year waiting time in CHI at Tallaght.
There is a two year wait for overnight oxygen studies investigations for sleep disordered breathing in CHI Temple Street and 29 months waiting list at CHI Tallaght.
There is a two year wait for overnight oxygen and carbon dioxide studies for routine assessment of children on long term ventilation (e.g. CPAP and BIPAP) and those with sleep disordered breathing at CHI Temple St and similarly a 20 and 18 month waiting list espectively at CHI Tallaght (e.g. overnight oxygen and carbon dioxide studies).
These studies are important to assess and regularly monitor the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
Provision of a long term ventilation service for children: the number of referrals for this service from a broad range of sub-specialities has hugely increased over the last few years as have referrals from across the country.
Investigation of Sleep Disordered breathing in children is an area that has increased significantly over the last few years with huge increase in referrals to respiratory services from within the hospital and from across the country
