Safetynet Primary Care is a values-driven organisation committed to delivering high-quality healthcare to marginalised and socially excluded people. In doing so, it offers services to marginalised populations that are not available through the mainstream healthcare system, helping to overcome the access barriers faced by disadvantaged individuals.
Safetynet Primary Care provides vital primary healthcare services to some of the most marginalised groups in Irish society today. This includes people facing homelessness and addiction, migrants and people seeking asylum, the Roma and Traveller Communities and individuals with challenges to their mental health. Mainstream healthcare does not always have the bandwidth to meet the needs of marginalised populations due to factors such as language, location, cultural barriers, no medical card or knowledge of how to get one. Safetynet’s mission is to overcome these barriers, and provide a service that meets the patient’s individual needs, striving to shape the service to fit the patient.

To deliver high quality healthcare services to those who are socially excluded and who otherwise could not access care, promote their wellbeing and advocating for an inclusive healthcare system.
