The National Forensic Mental Health Service (NFMHS) will be opening a new state-of-the art facility in Portrane, North County Dublin in 2020. The current Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum, County Dublin will be replaced with a new hospital campus which will provide a range of forensic mental health services to its patients.

The new facility will have 170 mental health beds for a range of adults and children who have a diverse range of healthcare, social and criminogenic needs and risks. The clusters of forensic mental health care in the new facility will include:

– Intensive Care Rehabilitation Unit (ICRU)
– Forensic Child and Adolescent Mental Health Facility (FCAMHS)
– Pre-discharge Unit
– Female Unit
– Mental Health Intellectual Disability Unit

Helping patients when they are at their most vulnerable is why many of us choose this career. The sense of pride, usefulness and ‘a job well done’ can be incredibly rewarding. You will care for people with complex mental health needs to promote their wellbeing and physical health.
