Beacon Hospital prides itself on its comprehensive infection prevention control and surveillance programme, highlighting the hospital’s commitment to being the highest-quality and safest provider of medical and surgical care. The Beacon Centre for Orthopaedics comprises Ireland’s largest independent Orthopaedic Group Practice, where our 17 Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons cover all aspect of Orthopaedic care in one unit. Beacon Hospital's Cancer Centre offers patients the latest advances in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment, with an unparalleled range of treatment options, including diagnostic testing, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy in one convenient location. Beacon Hospital Women’s Centre, which encompasses the full spectrum of women’s gynaecological care, utilises minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. Our Breast Care Centre also provides same-day mammography results and treatment in a warm, comforting environment. Treatment facilities in Beacon Hospital include 8 operating theatres with dedicated rooms for Neurosurgery, Urology, Cardiac, General, Orthopaedic and Ophthalmic Surgery. Beacon Hospital has 8 ICU beds and 6 CCU beds all individually capable of isolating any patient. Each patient has their own room, with glass front, so nurses see everything, but they are allowed a certain degree of privacy with their loved ones at this crucial time. It also helps minimise infection - a very pertinent issue in healthcare today. The nursing philosophy in Beacon Hospital is a collaborative approach where compassion and care are delivered through touch, a kind act, through competent clinical interventions or through listening and seeking to understand the others experience. Beacon Hospital has satellite locations in Mullingar and Limerick. The benefit for patients is that they can access certain specialties locally, thereby minimising travel and any inconvenience. If a procedure is required this is carried out in Sandyford, and resulting follow up takes place back in their own community. For more information please visit our website.
