Patient Transfer Aids for New Children's Hospital Dublin

Children's Health Ireland is seeking suppliers for patient transfer aids for a new children's hospital currently under construction in Dublin 8. The required equipment includes roller boards, spinal scoops, and seated transfer boards designed to support safe patient handling and movement across multiple clinical areas including operating theatres, radiology, MRI, intensive care, special care units, and general wards. The primary objectives are to: (1) eliminate or reduce manual lifting by healthcare staff, thereby decreasing musculoskeletal injury risk; (2) support patient independence and dignity during transfers; (3) maintain patient comfort and safety throughout procedures; and (4) enhance overall operational efficiency. Suppliers should provide equipment that meets clinical safety standards and is suitable for use with pediatric patients. The hospital expects these aids to become essential components of safe patient handling protocols across all clinical departments.
