About Cavan Monaghan Palliative Care Fund
The Cavan/Monaghan Palliative Care Fund was first set up in September 1993. Our objective is to provide support through consultation with the Specialist Palliative Care Team for all its patients and their families. This support takes many forms, including the purchase of specialised equipment, night nursing and patient transport, to name but a few. Basically, the Fund provides any need that the Specialist Palliative Care Team identifies to us as they work with their patients throughout counties Cavan and Monaghan. We are only able to do this through the support we receive from the communities in which we live and work.
We work in close contact with the Specialist Palliative Care Team and at all times we strive to work in a non bureaucratic way to ensure speed and efficiency in all we do to support the Team.
About National Breast Cancer Research Institute
Currently, 1 in 7 Irish women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and there are 3,507 cases diagnosed annually which is set to continue to increase.
These women are our mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, friends and neighbours. We know these women, they play major roles in our lives.
The National Breast Cancer Research Institute is a national charity that funds a comprehensive research programme at the University of Galway. We know that breast cancer research has improved the diagnosis, treatment options, and outcomes for those who develop the disease. We want to fund these research programmes to continue to impact the outcomes for those who develop the disease in the future.
The research team, in collaboration with universities and hospitals across the globe, focuses on the development & improvement of diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies, to drive real and measurable improvement in clinical outcomes for breast cancer patients.
