Leading private cancer centre in Ireland
At the Cancer Centre, you will be cared for by a group of highly experienced consultants, each specialising in a particular area of cancer diagnosis and treatment. They are supported by an extended team of nursing and healthcare professionals all integrated within the one setting.
We pride ourselves on ensuring all patients have access to the latest developments, technologies and specialist expertise. We are currently the only private hospital in the country offering High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatment to prostate cancer patients in Ireland.
The key focus of the Cancer Centre is personalised patient care. The patient is at the forefront of everything we do. We aim to support each of our patients both physically and emotionally, throughout their treatment journey with us. As part of our services offered at the Cancer Centre, we provide a professional Psychotherapy service to patients and their families, as well as a Survivorship Programme, helping patients to return to their normal routine following cancer treatment.
