Cancer Care West

Cancer Care West is the west of Ireland cancer charity dedicated to supporting those whose lives have been affected by a cancer diagnosis. Our aim is to enhance patient care and well being and to provide supports to cancer patients and their families during and after their treatment.

We aim to provide a holistic service that complements medical treatment through the provision of residential accommodation and cancer support services. Cancer Care West also provides cancer awareness and educational programmes and undertakes research on patient care.

Cancer Care West's residential facility, Inis Aoibhinn, is located on the grounds of University Hospital Galway and provides accommodation to cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy at UHG. Inis Aoibhinn provides a 'home away from home' environment for patients. It comprises 33 en suite bedrooms and had facilities for a patient's family member or guest to share. Inis Aoibhinn opened in 2007 and consistently operates at full capacity. There is no cost to cancer patients or family members for staying at Inis Aoibhinn.
