Details of Service

The Medical Oncology Department at Beaumont RCSI Cancer Centre provides oncology care for the full spectrum of cancers as one of the 8 designated cancer centres nationally and as the main OECI-certified cancer centre within the HSE Dublin and North East health regions.The Medical Oncology Service provides general oncology care to the local population, in addition to specialised neuro-oncology care on a regional and national level.The service continues to adapt to the growing population of Ireland, the associated increase in people living with a cancer diagnosis, in addition to the growing expectations of the population in relation to their oncology care needs.As the service continues to grow it is expected that the service will transition to a soon to be developed Cancer Quarter on the campus of Beaumont. This will be associated with a transition from the current location to an integrated clinic, day unit, acute care area, holistic allied health therapy, and an embedded oncology pharmacy.Such a structure will allow for more efficient care, group support for staff members and thereby improve the quality of care provided. It will also provide the structural needs of a modern haematology/oncology service.

 

Service Mission, Vision and Values

The Acute Haematology Oncology telephone triage nursing service is pivotal in providing a non-ED direct access route for cancer patients who require review. Using this service, cancer patients who are on treatment and become unwell can access specialist nursing care via a dedicated telephone line. The AHOS service focuses on the management and treatment of patients who present acutely unwell with cancer treatment side-effects or as an emergency complication from a known cancer diagnosis .Unwell patients who require additional review or treatment are, where possible seen in the cancer day care unit or a dedicated space away from the emergency department (ED).
