General Services Portering Services The department manages the provision of Portering services to a broad spectrum of hospital departments. Departments serviced include complex areas such as Theatres, Laboratories, Pharmacy, Radiology and Ambulatory Day Care Clinics. The department continues to develop its responsibility for the provision and co-ordination of whole hospital activities such as waste management, post and patient transport. Waste management continued to be a major focus and in 2007 the department was instrumental in implementing a consolidated waste contract across all non-clinical waste streams. This saw a diverse number of waste streams such as food, domestic, paper, building, WEEE, etc being consolidated under one service provider. The new contractor Oxigen Limited had been working closely with the department in developing initiatives such as recycling at source and the segregation of food waste. The staff compliment in 2007 was 93. The Portering Services Manager is Gerry Noone. Gerry is in his 38th year of service with the hospital. Finally congratulations to Dominic Loughlin for successfully completing Fetac Level 5 and Anthony Walsh for completing Fetac Level 6 in Skills Vec. Security It is the intent of the St Vincent’s University Hospital to provide a safe and secure environment for all employees, patients, visitors and contractors. Our security department plays a key role in the co-ordination and delivery of our safety and security activities and operates on a 24-hour basis with particular focus on fire and emergency response procedures. Security was a key stakeholder in the development and implementation of a number of policies such as Visiting Hours Policy, Patient Property Policy and a Restraint Handling Policy. The department participates in a number of quality improvement committees such as the Safety, Risk and Quality Improvement Group, Fire Safety Group and the Health & Safety Committee. The department continued its roll-out programme for Access Control / ID cards with extra departments coming on stream. To date all current employees have been issued with the new ID cards. This has Return to Contents 278
General Services necessitated in excess of 3,000 cards being programmed. In 2008 it is planned to integrate the issue process into the Human Resources induction programme for new employees. Key areas of the campus continue to be risk appraised for conversion to access control and it is planned to roll-out the system to all staff car parks in 2008. The department is managed by Jim Mitchell and the staff compliment in 2007 was 16. Technical Services Technical Services is responsible for the management, design, installation and maintenance of engineering services within the hospital. It is also involved in the broader areas of energy management and sustainability planning. Four key areas of activity in 2007 were: New Developments Due to the amount, complexity and cost of building services in new developments, systematic inspections and routine maintenance were devised to ensure continuity of good service and economy of resources. New maintenance schedules were planned using the manufactures specifications with O&M manuals. As most of the equipment was on a first year schedule, isolation and hazards had to be identified to ensure continuous support to the hospital. All plant equipment was identified and ranked to ascertain the impact of a failure to the hospital. Planned preventative maintenance was introduced to avoid disruption to the activities of the various areas covered, i.e. chillers were maintained in off peak hours. The new Allied Health Department Refurbishment came on stream in 2007. The process of integrating new developments into the campus has been a demanding, challenging and interesting one and we look forward to implementing the lessons learned as future projects come on stream during 2008. Estates Strategy Technical Services Projects Technical Services was a key stakeholder in the development of the Estates Strategy Group. Its Projects Team completed a substantial number of new projects with the combination of in-house technical services staff and outside contractors. Return to Contents 279
