Dungannon’s South Tyrone Hospital set for new Rapid Diagnosis Centre

The Department of Health has announced the opening of two specialist clinics to help reduce the time for cancer diagnosis and improve patient outcomes.

The Rapid Diagnosis Centres (RDCs) - the first of their kind in Northern Ireland – are being launched at Dungannon’s South Tyrone Hospital and Whiteabbey Hospital. The clinics are providing a new pathway for cancer treatment and are a key part of the Department’s 10 year Cancer Strategy published in March.

As part of a pilot programme, GPs in the Dungannon and Armagh and East Antrim areas are now able to refer patients into the RDCs.
