We were pleased to hear that the 2014 Conference of the European Association of Surfing Doctors is being held in Sligo this September.
Full details of the conference are available here.
We’d like to welcome all our surfing colleagues to Sligo. We’re sure that you’ll love it here and hope to meet some of you (but outside of work!)
Congratulations to our Specialist Registrar, Dr Michael Bennett who won the prize for best oral presentation at the Irish Paediatric Emergency Research Meeting on Friday 4th July 2014.
Michael presented on the experience in Sligo ED of using ketamine as part of a safe sedation pathway in children undergoing painful procedures. He has demonstrated that our practice is both safe an effective. You can read about his work and how we do things here.

Unfortunately Michael’s time with us in Sligo has come to an end today. We wish him well in his new post in Crumlin on Monday. Indeed, we would like to thank all our non-consultant hospital doctors for their hard work and look forward to meeting our new trainees on Monday next.
The Irish Association for Emergency Medicine has been chosen to host the 14th International Conference on Emergency Medicine on behalf of the International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM).
The conference will take place from 27th to 30th June 2012 in the newly opened Dublin Convention Centre in Dublin’s Docklands.
The Sligo Emergency Department website officially launched on 23.06.2010.
We hope you like the results so far. The site aims to provide the general public with all the relevant information pertaining to the Emergency Department, as well as information and links to general health issues.
The site will continue to change and grow over the coming months. We will continue to update the content, in an attempt to communicate with and inform the public as best we can.
We hope you’ll come back and visit us again soon!!
