Cork University Hospital’s Cardiac Renal Centre was opened in 2010. Spanning 13,000m² over 6 floors, the Centre represents an innovative service development recognising the key interdependencies of the specialties of Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Renal Medicine. The development of the Centre followed a consultative process involving staff and patient representatives from the Irish Heart Foundation and the Irish Kidney Association.
