About Us The Association of the Friends of St. Patrick's Hospital was set up in 1978 to raise much needed funds to help finance the work of St. Patrick's University Hospital. It’s over 250 years since Dean Swift set up St. Patrick’s specifically to provide services to sufferers from mental illness. Today the need for its services is greater than ever. One in four people in Ireland suffer from mental illness and countless families and friends are affected by it.
St. Patrick’s University Hospital, James’s St., Dublin is Ireland’s largest independent provider of mental health services. It is a not-for-profit organisation which uses the monies raised through the Friends to provide facilities and services for the assessment, treatment and aftercare of people experiencing mental illness . Its five year strategy, Mental Health Matters, commits it to developing a wide range of new services and treatments including Services for Adolescents, Community Mental Health Clinics (Dean Clinics), Addiction Services and Multi-disciplinary Assessment.
Dean Clinics have been opened in Dublin and Cork providing multidisciplinary assessment and treatment services in the community. The clinics in Dublin are located in the city centre, Donaghmede, Lucan and Glasnevin. The Cork Dean Clinic is at City Gate, Mahon and further regional clinics are planned. The new Adolescent services include a community based clinic and a new purpose-designed in-patient unit at St. Patrick’s.
