UHG ED Gets Mental Health Nurses | Galway News

University Hospital Galway is finally getting a dedicated mental health nursing team in its Emergency Department — part of a nationwide HSE rollout to ten hospitals, funded by €15 million from Budget 2026. Designed to prevent suicides and support those in crisis — especially during late-night and evening ER visits — the initiative responds to urgent local demand, fueled by advocacy following a tragic 2023 suicide case. Each hospital will deploy four specialized nurses, including advanced practitioners, ready to provide critical care to anyone in mental health crisis walking through ER doors.
