Resident Medical Officer

Bon Secours Health System has a rich history in Limerick, beginning with the acquisition of Barringtons Hospital on George's Quay in 2017. While the site has served the community well, its limitations led to our vision for a new, state-of-the-art facility to better serve the growing healthcare needs of the region. In 2021, we took the next step towards this vision by breaking ground on the new Bon Secours Hospital Limerick in Towlerton, Ballysimon, with an investment of €190 million. This new hospital is now open and provides advanced medical and surgical care in a modern, sustainable setting. As part of Ireland's largest private hospital group, Bon Secours Health System operates across the country, with over 4,000 staff members and a commitment to delivering compassionate, world-class healthcare.

This new hospital in Limerick forms a key part of our ongoing investment in healthcare infrastructure, supporting our mission to provide advanced medicine and exceptional care to our patients. The hospital offers a wide range of specialist services, from cardiology to ophthalmology, and will play a pivotal role in enhancing healthcare provision in the Mid-West.

We are still recruiting exceptional people to join our team as we continue to expand our services at our new state-of-the-art hospital.
