Triage Nurse

Specially trained triage nurses play a crucial role in the operation of out-of-hours or urgent care GP co-operatives in Ireland.

A triage nurse generally, will receive calls from people with health problems and it is the responsibility of the triage nurse to assess and manage the situation by giving advice or referrals to the appropriate urgent care clinic or hospital. The role of specially trained nurses who triage all contacts made by the public to the urgent care clinics is crucial to the effective operation of most GP co-operatives. We have consistent demand for both permanent and contract positions.
