UL Hospitals Group marks bike week in Nenagh with launch of new bike shelter

UL Hospitals Group was delighted to mark Bike Week 2018 in Nenagh recently with the launch of its new bike shelter at Nenagh hospital, funded by the HSE and Healthy Ireland.
 
A happier and healthier workforce is a key aim of the Healthy Ireland Implementation Plan published by UL Hospitals Group in 2016.

The three-year plan is in line with the national Healthy Ireland Strategy and identifies over 60 actions to improve the health and wellbeing of its workforce and the population it serves.


As part of this plan, the Group actively encourages and promotes cycling to work as a healthy option for its staff. In addition to the bike shelter at Nenagh Hospital, there are also two bike shelters provided in UHL, and Ennis Hospital and the University Maternity Hospital Limerick are both launching their new shelters this week.


Staff can also avail of the Bike to Work scheme as well to help them purchase a bike if they need the support to do so.
