In late 2022 the Irish government awarded Sisk the contract to build seven state-of-the-art Community Nursing Units (CNUs) across Ireland. CNUs are residential care facilities that provide full-time medical care for patients while also relieving pressure on acute hospitals, and, as such, they play a critical role in the country’s healthcare system. Moreover, these new facilities are being designed and built in a way that will create a home from home for residents, ensuring comfort and familiarity, and assisting in recovery.  Sisk broke ground on all seven CNUs in December 2022 and in this episode of Inside Sisk, we learn about the unique challenges that this approach presented, how Modern Methods of Construction and cutting edge digital tools helped overcome these challenges and maximise efficiencies, and the positive impact that design can have on our health and recovery. We also take a tour of the CNU project site in Athlone, Co Westmeath. Featuring:James Moloney, Regional Director, Sisk Regional BuildingCathal Dempsey, Contracts Manager, Athlone CNU Dermot O‘Hagan, Director at JNP architects & CNU Project Architect
