Endometriosis: Search continues for key staff for Cork regional centre

Recruitment for the regional endometriosis centre in Cork is challenged by the need for “highly specialised skill sets”, the HSE has said, as calls grow for hiring to ramp up.

Although three senior specialists started this year, the search to fill key roles continues. A locum consultant colorectal surgeon is now onsite, as is a clinical physiotherapist and a senior physiotherapist.
