Blackrock Health, a cornerstone of Irish healthcare for over 40 years, today proudly announces the official opening of the Blackrock Health Womens Health Centre. This state-of-the-art facility, backed by a previously announced €16 million investment, is now open at 2-5 Warrington Place, Dublin 2, marking a pivotal moment in delivering truly holistic and integrated healthcare specifically for women in Ireland
The Blackrock Health Womens Health Centre stands as the nation’s most comprehensive private, consultant-led centre dedicated to women’s health. With a team of 28 consultants, four women’s medicine specialists and 30 ancillary healthcare professionals and support staff, the collective team will provide unparalleled access to a vast array of specialist services, all designed with the unique needs of women at their core.
What truly sets the Blackrock Health Womens Health Centre apart is its integrated approach. Diagnostics and treatments across each disease area are delivered with a deep understanding of how these health concerns can co-exist. This enables the centre’s expert, consultant-led team, spearheaded by Professor Donal Brennan, Clinical Director and Gynaecological Oncologist and joined by many experts in women’s health amongst whom are Dr. Gerry Agnew, Clinical Lead Urogynaecology, Dr Caoimhe Hartley, Clinical Lead Women’s Medicine and Prof Kirk Levins, Pain Medicine, to provide an unrivalled breadth of care under one roof.
