FORGING THE RCSI MED DISTRICT

RCSI recognises the importance of place; bringing together people, ideas, learning and innovation into a world-class ecosystem in which challenges are met and breakthroughs are made. Headquartered in Dublin’s city centre, the RCSI campus has played a significant role in the urban community, forming part of the streetscape for more than two centuries.

Today, we are in the most exciting and transformative phase of our journey so far and the opening of 26 York Street marked a critical step in the realisation of the RCSI MED District; an international centre dedicated to health and wellbeing, fostering a culture of collaboration and discovery where students, professionals, researchers, leaders, policy makers, and the public can advance healthcare together.

THANKS TO YOU WE ARE... PROVIDING WORLD CLASS FACILITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS THE OPENING OF 26 YORK STREET IN JUNE 2018, BY MR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG MARKED THE BEGINNING OF THE EMERGENCE OF THE ‘RCSI MED DISTRICT’ ON ST STEPHEN’S GREEN.

The new facilities within 26 York Street have truly revolutionised the way we teach our students enabling them to utilise simulation facilities to experience every aspect of a medical setting, from GP consultations to an operating theatre, in the safety of a training environment. In addition, the provision of a triple level library which caters to all student’s learning styles ensures that we are supporting learners at all stages of their educational journey. Thanks to our generous donors, 26 York Street is a true reflection of the diverse and committed RCSI community. Throughout the building, donor plaques celebrate prominent faculty, outstanding alumni, distinguished fellows, leaders in health and corporate partners that share RCSI’s vision for patient care.

THANKS TO YOU... OUR CAMPUS IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF EDUCATION RESEARCH

The COVID-19 pandemic experience has taught us that a campus is far more than the sum of its buildings; it is an ethos and a culture developed by those that work within, leaders that are driving activity and unlocking innovation. 26 York Street now also houses ‘The RCSI Centre for Simulation

Education and Research’ which was established following a grant award from the Irish Higher Education Authority. The Centre seeks to use the facilities to inform cutting edge research to provide evidence for the effectiveness and feasibility of simulation-based training for the benefit of Higher Education Institutions in Ireland and internationally. The Centre not only supports the increased use of simulation training but also enables RCSI to build its international reputation as an early adopter and leader of innovative education practices.
