St. Patrick's University Hospital is Ireland's largest independent mental health service provider. We are a Not-for-Profit organisation dedicated to providing the highest quality of mental health care, promoting mental health and advocating for the rights of those who suffer from mental illness.

At St. Patrick's and its sister hospital St. Edmundsbury, multi-disciplinary teams of psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, cognitive behaviour therapists, addiction counsellors, pharmacists and other mental health care professionals provide in-patient, day care and out-patient services through speciality programmes. An extensive range of psychotherapies including Cognitive Behaviour Psychotherapy, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Systemic Psychotherapy is provided for individuals and within groups.

Under our five year strategy, Mental Health Matters, launched in February 2008, we are developing a wide range of new services and treatments including Services for Adolescents, Community Mental Health Clinics (The Dean Clinics), Addiction Services, Multi-disciplinary Assessment and Technology-Based Services including web based services and our new telephone Information & Support line.

St. Patrick's is focused on the inclusion of those who suffer from mental illness as full and equal partners in the planning, management and evaluation of mental health services and in the treatments they receive.

The Hospital holds its staff in high esteem and regards them as its most important asset, enabling St. Patrick's University Hospital to fulfil its mission to make a positive difference to the care of those with mental illness. We strive to create and maintain a forward looking environment where our staff can be innovative and experience satisfaction in their work. We are committed to ensuring the ongoing development of our staff.
