Our history

Our history

Between the years of 1978 and 1984 Beaumont Hospital was planned, commissioned, and built. The design of the hospital is almost an exact replica of that used in the building of the Cork University College Hospital (Wilton) in the early 1970s.  The Hospital opened its doors to the public on 29th November 1987. This followed the closure and transfer to Beaumont of two city centre hospitals - the Charitable Infirmary in Jervis Street and St Laurence's (the Richmond).

Our people

The Hospital has a complement of 1058 beds (inpatient and day case) and over 4,500 multidisciplinary staff. Beaumont Hospital, as a state body, is managed by a Board which is collectively responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Hospital.
