Welcome to St. Vincent's University Hospital

Industrial Action Wednesday - 14th October 2026

We would like to advise patients, visitors and the public that industrial action involving multiple unions will impact services across St Vincent’s University Hospital on Wednesday, 14 October.
Our priority is to maintain safe patient care, and every effort is being made to minimise disruption. Patients whose appointments or procedures are affected will be contacted directly.

Our Emergency Department will remain open but will have reduced staffing which may affect treatment times. We ask for your patience and understanding as we work to maintain essential services. Patients who require urgent or emergency care should continue to attend or seek medical assistance as appropriate.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time and thank you for your continued cooperation and support.
