Reference excerpt

The Tallaght University Hospital (Irish: Ospidéal Ollscoile Thamhlachta) is a teaching hospital in County Dublin, Ireland. Its academic partner is Trinity College Dublin. It is managed by the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group.

History The hospital, which was designed by Robinson Keefe Devane, was intended to provide the newly developed Dublin suburb of Tallaght with its own general hospital, by relocating services from three smaller sites in Dublin's city centre: the Adelaide Hospital, the Meath Hospital and the National Children's Hospital. A board of directors was established by the Minister for Health in 1980. It was built at a cost of £140 million and opened as the Adelaide and Meath Hospital, Dublin, incorporating the National Children's Hospital (AMNCH) on 21 June 1998. In March 2010, an investigation was launched when it emerged that 58,000 X-rays had not been reviewed by a consultant radiologist. In November 2011, Minister for Health James Reilly announced "radical governance reforms" for the hospital including a slimmed down board composed of experts. It changed its name to the Tallaght Hospital in February 2012 and to the Tallaght University Hospital in March 2018. The Children's Services Department changed its name to Children's Health Ireland at Tallaght as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019.

Services The hospital, which is a teaching hospital for Trinity College Dublin, has 562 beds. In November 2021 the hospital installed an Integrated Clinical Environment, the first in Ireland, with order communications, results reporting and an electronic patient record provided by CliniSys.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tallaght University Hospital

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tallaght University Hospital claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tallaght University Hospital before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tallaght University Hospital ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tallaght University Hospital

In research: Tallaght University Hospital appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tallaght University Hospital in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tallaght University Hospital is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 20th-century architecture in the Republic of Ireland, Buildings and structures in South Dublin (county), Education in South Dublin (county), so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tallaght University Hospital outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
