Dr Terry Hennessy is a consultant cardiologist who has been working in the Mid West since 1998.

He spent 13 years working in both Ennis Hospital and University Hospital Limerick as a general medical physician and cardiologist, and in 2011 became part of the Mid West regional cardiology team who collectively went on to establish a 24/7 STEMI service.

Most recently he was Clinical Director for Model 2 Hospitals and he’ll continue to see his patients in the Cath Lab alongside the commitments of his new regional role.

The new appointment will see Dr Hennessey assume responsibility for the strategic delivery of all acute and community clinical care services across the Mid West.

His first project will be leading what’s been describes as a vital internal consultation process which will gather insights on the design and delivery of local urgent and emergency care services in the region.

This process will inform the submission that HSE Mid West REO Sandra Broderick will make to HIQA’s ongoing review of urgent and emergency care in the Mid West.

Congratulating Dr Hennessy on his appointment, Ms Broderick has said the process will enable her to submit a fully informed position from healthcare staff across this region.
