The Daffodil Centre in Beaumont Hospital is part of the Irish Cancer Society’s cancer support service. It is a free, walk in service where experienced cancer nurses and specially trained volunteers are on hand to provide face to face information and support to anyone affected by cancer. Patients, family members, healthcare professionals or anyone concerned about cancer can visit the centre without an appointment or a referral. We are here Monday to Friday from 08.00 – 16.00 and are conveniently located just inside the main front door so you will pass us on your way in or out of the hospital
A visit to a Daffodil Centre provides people affected by cancer with the chance to ask questions and talk through their concerns with a cancer nurse and trained volunteers. They provide information and support on a wide variety of cancer types, and offerguidance on coping with the physical, emotional and practical impact of cancer.
