Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) is an academic healthcare organisation that is leading on the clinical and operational transformation of acute paediatric healthcare. The three children’s hospitals at Crumlin, Temple Street and Tallaght and the Children’s Hospital Group transitioned from four separate, independently governed entities into one new single organisation effective on 1st January 2019 to govern and operate local paediatric services in Dublin and all national paediatric services, some of which are on an all-island basis.

CHI operates as a single service across the existing locations of Crumlin, Temple Street and Tallaght. The first of two paediatric outpatient and urgent care centres opened on 31 July 2019,  CHI at Connolly Urgent Care Centre in Blanchardstown, CHI in Tallaght Children’s Emergency Care Unit which opened in 2021 and the new children’s hospital on the campus shared with St James’s Hospital.

CHI’s mission is to promote and provide child-centred, research-led and learning informed healthcare, to the highest standards of safety and excellence. CHI wants do this in partnership with staff, with children, young people and their families through a network of children’s services in Ireland
