In addition to our dedicated care team, Hermitage Clinic is honoured to be supported by our Daffodil Centre.
Daffodil Centres are part of the Irish Cancer Society’s information service. They're based in hospitals around the country. Our space at the Hermitage Clinic provides information, advice and support to patients, families and carers affected by or concerned by cancer.
At the Daffodil Centre, you can talk to cancer nurses and trained volunteers about any concerns you may have. Someone is always there to listen and to help give you the support you need, whether it's related to finding a local support group or talking through any financial difficulties. All conversations are confidential.
Who we see
Daffodil Centres are open to all and no GP referral or appointment is needed. We provide information, advice and support to any individual, including:
- cancer patients
- family members of cancer patients
- carers of cancer patients
- anyone worried about possible cancer symptoms
