The National Centre for Inherited Metabolic Disorders (NCIMD) is the Irish tertiary referral centre for children with inherited metabolic (biochemical genetic) disorders.  We diagnose and care for patients affected by inherited metabolic disorders with a holistic and family-centred approach.  The NCIMD is a full member of MetabERN.

MetabERN is a European Reference Network of metabolic care providers across EU countries.  Its aim is to facilitate access to the best available care and to address the needs of patients across borders.  It facilitates discussion on complex or rare diseases that require highly specialised treatment and concentrated knowledge and resources.  The MetabERN is driven by the principle of patient-centred care and a culture of continuous quality improvement.

In the NCIMD, we have a multidisciplinary team with extensive experience in the acute and long-term management of metabolic disorders.  The NCIMD is approved to provide training in paediatric inherited metabolic diseases by the European Academy of Paediatrics.
