A diagnosis of cancer has a major impact on a person’s life. We offer all the services to guide and support patients from diagnosis, to treatment and follow-up.
Our healthcare professionals and support services work together as a multidisciplinary team. Regular meetings take place to discuss each individual patient and to devise a care plan. The aim is create a patient/health professional partnership to explain what the care plan entails and make decisions, to discuss the risks and benefits and to talk to patients and families about any queries or concerns.The hospital also provides a range of support services and additional resources, offering a holistic service to patients and families in line with our mission and values. These include palliative care, pastoral services and support aimed at practical assistance and improving quality of life.
The Bon Secours Hospital has been part of the health service landscape in the Cork region for over 100 years, offering private hospital care. In July, 2019 the new world class cancer centre opened its doors to patients. This service, which provides state-of-the-art facilities for diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, is part of an ambitious €77 million hospital expansion which has been completed.
The development includes radiotherapy services jointly developed with the UPMC Hillman Cancer Centre to provide advanced treatments previously unavailable in the Munster area.Bon Secours Radiotherapy Centre, in partnership with UPMC Hillman Cancer Centre, combines the expertise of Ireland’s largest independent health care provider with UPMC’s world-renowned model of cancer care.
