The HSE West and Northwest Cancer Network has been accredited by the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI), making it one of only 20 such groups in Europe. The accreditation process involved a peer review visit by a panel of European experts, evaluating 345 standards across the region’s cancer programme. This accreditation is considered the ‘gold standard’ for cancer care internationally, focusing on quality in diagnosis, care, education, and research. The network plans to focus on a 33-point quality improvement plan to further enhance cancer care in the West and Northwest region, providing services to a population of 830,000 people.
