Exciting day in St. Luke's Hospital. The first patient in Ireland received single fraction, motion managed SABR on the SIMPLIFY SABR COMET trial! Well done to all the team involved. 1 non-invasive treatment visit and all oligomets have been treated!

It has been wonderful to see this image of Seamus Heaney in his study circulating ahead of the launch of his new collection. The books seen here are some of many which will be housed in our new Seamus Heaney Poetry Library at No. 11 Parnell Square. We can’t wait to share them!
