Who We Are
(CHI) is leading on the clinical and operational transformation of acute paediatric healthcare and consists of hospitals at Crumlin, Temple Street and Tallaght as well as an Urgent Care Centre at Connolly hospital in Blanchardstown.

Due to the complex nature of the patients who attend CHI at Crumlin, there is an increasing need for ENT consults from Neonatology, Intensive Care etc coupled with the highly complex paediatric airways which are seen at CHI at Crumlin thus necessitating the appointment of a fifth Consultant ENT Surgeon.
