, Limerick East): Cork University Hospital has provided a comprehensive renal dialysis service for many years under the clinical management of a consultant nephrologist. This service includes the provision of a haemodialysis service in which dialysis patients are dialysed at times which allow many of them to continue in employment and in a manner which enables them to maintain a normal lifestyle.
