Cork University Hospital (Template:Lang-ga) is a teaching hospital in Wilton in the south-western suburbs of Cork in Ireland.

History

The hospital officially opened as Cork Regional Hospital in November 1978. A new Regional Cancer Centre opened in December 2009 and a new Cardiac Renal Centre, built at a cost of €85 million, opened in October 2010.

Services

The hospital has an 800-beds. The hospital has its own hospital radio CUH FM offering full coverage to the hospital. The hospital also receives patients by helicopter: currently helicopters land on a purpose built helipad at the facilities of Bishopstown G.A.A. and Highfield R.F.C. near to the hospital. In 2011 it was confirmed on 6 April 2011 that the hospital would receive a new helipad costing €1.5m and, after a lengthy site selection process, a planning application for the helipad was submitted in November 2018.

Transport

A number of Bus Éireann city bus routes serve the hospital, including routes 201 and 208 (from Mayfield), 214 (from St Patrick's Street), 216 (from Mount Oval via Douglas), and 219 (from Mahon). In addition, a number of regional bus routes also serve the hospital, including some services on route 232 (from Ballincollig), routes 236, 237 and 239 (from West Cork).
