The Radiotherapy Team is focusing on the design and delivery of safe, high quality patient services that will be accessed by patients from Letterkenny University Hospital’s catchment area and will see approximately 400 patients per year from that area receiving treatment at Altnagelvin Hospital.
The new service will increase treatment capacity, improve patient access and shorten travel times for patients from the North West region. In designing this service we are working with the clinical teams in Letterkenny, Galway and Dublin to advance the delivery of safe seamless services for our patients. The Radiotherapy and clinical teams are engaging and working together to agree and enable the safe handover of patients who will require treatment. This work is focusing on: electronic exchange of clinical information; clinical pathways; referrals; clinical documents and discharge letters and OPD letters.The project team are also being supported by our voluntary sector partners and the cancer charity groups in Letterkenny. In April, Una Cardin presented at the ‘Relay for Life’, Donegal, cancer conference. Una spoke about the progress of the building and the recruitment of key staff.
