Beacon Hospital are delighted to announce a €30 million investment into the development of a state-of-the-art neuroscience centre, Beacon Brain Institute. This new Institute will mean Beacon Hospital is Ireland’s only private hospital to offer the complete Neurosciences services and be the first adult hospital in Ireland to have a dedicated Neurosurgical Operating Theatre with intraoperative MRI.

This investment in Neuroscience services is in addition to the €75 million capital investment programme already underway with the significant expansion of the hospital on the former site of the Beacon Hotel. This expansion will lead to the addition of 70 new beds, a new Emergency Department and enhanced cancer care facilities.

Beacon Brain Institute will be headed up by our own Prof Mohsen Javadpour, Consultant Neurosurgeon, and an incredibly distinguished and talented team of neurosurgical and neuroscience consultants and nurses.

Beacon Hospital is already an established centre of excellence for brain surgery – over 500 brain surgeries have already been carried out at the hospital, including surgery for complex Brain Tumours and Aneurysms. The new Beacon Brain Institute will have the capacity to treat approximately 10,000 patients annually.

We are delighted to announce a €30 million investment into the development of state-of-the-art neuroscience centre Beacon Brain Institute.

Happy International Nurses to all our Incredible Nurses! 💙
At Beacon Hospital we are fortunate to have an excellent team of nurses. Every day they go above and beyond to deliver outstanding care to each and every one of our patients. Today we proudly celebrate our exceptional team.

International Nurses Day is celebrated globally every May 12th on the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth. It is a day to highlight the vital role of nurses and an important opportunity to focus on the advancement of the nursing profession, as well as promote the well-being of nurses.

This year’s theme from the International Council of Nurses (ICN) is “Our Nurses, Our Future. Caring for Nurses Strengthens Economies”. The ICN celebrates Nurses Day with the aim to reshape perceptions of nursing, demonstrating how strategic investment in nursing can bring considerable economic and societal benefits.

A huge thank you to all our wonderful nurses here at Beacon Hospital. We are deeply grateful for everything you do, and are committed to continuously supporting you in every way we can. 💙

Happy International Nurses Day from all of us at Beacon Hospital! 💙
