As part of Heart Failure Awareness Week (02 to 08 May), staff from Roscommon University Hospital’s Heart Failure Service organised an information stand for people visiting the hospital to provide advice on the signs of heart failure and how it can be treated.
The Roscommon Vaccination Centre on the Golf Links Road in Roscommon Town will close on Sunday 27 March. After this date, people over the age of 12 who wish to get a dose 1, dose 2 or booster vaccine dose will be able to go to any other vaccination centre listed on hse.ie or to a participating pharmacy. Parents/guardians of children aged 5 to 11 can go to any of the vaccination centres listed on hse.ie for dose 1 or dose 2.
Due to an outbreak of COVID-19, access for visitors to inpatient wards at Roscommon University Hospital is currently limited to compassionate grounds only and these visits should be arranged in advance with the nurse in charge on the relevant ward. The contact numbers for the wards are as follows:

Following new national guidance on visiting, visitors to all hospitals will be asked to produce their EU Digital COVID Certificate or HSE COVID-19 Vaccination Record or other proof of immunity at the entrance. Visitors may be asked to show some photo ID to prove that the proof of immunity is theirs.
There are exemptions from the requirement for the EU Digital COVID Certificate or HSE COVID-19 Vaccination Record or other proof of immunity, on compassionate grounds.
This weekend Kilbride Vaccination Centre will be holding walk-in booster vaccination clinics at specific times for healthcare workers and people aged 60 to 69 who have reached an interval of at least 152 days since their second dose vaccine. People in these two groups that received the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine can also get their booster at the walk-in clinic this weekend if they have an interval of at least 3 months since their vaccination.
As winter takes hold Roscommon University Hospital is reminding people that their Injury Unit is open from 8am to 8pm, every day of the year to treat a wide range of injuries which are non-life or non-limb threatening, as an alternative to visiting an emergency department. The Injury Unit is staffed by Doctors, Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Nurses.
