Affidea opens third ExpressCare Clinic in Ireland
By William O'Connor
Tallaght-based Affidea is expanding its services by investing €1.5 million in the establishment of a third ExpressCare Clinic at its new facility in Northwood Santry - which opens to the public this week.
Affidea, is a leading independent provider of diagnostic imaging and outpatient services who already have clinics in Tallaght and Cork.
ExpressCare clinics by Affidea are ‘walk in’ facilities that treat minor injuries and illnesses that don’t require a hospital visit, open from 10am-10pm, 365 days a year in Tallaght, just 200 metres from Tallaght University Hospital, and at The Elysian in Cork.
This is part of an overall €25 million investment by the company in the Irish healthcare sector over the last three years.
Barry Downes, Country Manager, Affidea Ireland, said; “Through our growing ExpressCare network, patients can be seen as a priority, receiving the attention they need in an outpatient environment, with minimal waiting times. ExpressCare also provides immediate access to our full suite of diagnostic services should patients need it, all within the same clinic, which is a unique benefit.
“We are very proud to deliver the highest quality medical services in a timely and stress-free manner for our patients not only in north and south Dublin, but throughout Leinster and Munster.”
John Sweeney, Senior Contracts Manager, added: “We are thrilled to have successfully completed another ExpressCare unit for our esteemed client Affidea. This particular project was carried out in a live environment and would not be possible but for the cooperation of the management and staff in Northwood, along with the continued partnership we have developed with Affidea design teams and our supply chain. We congratulate Affidea on this important investment for the Irish healthcare sector and we are looking forward to expanding our working relationship into the future.”
