Gala Concert in Curragh church to support Naas Hospital staff battling breast cancer

On June 1, concert is taking place in St Bridget’s Church on the Curragh in recognition of all Naas Hospital and HSE staff that have had breast cancer or are currently having treatment.

The main performers will be the Naas General Hospital Choir set last October as part of staff wellbeing.

Advanced Nurse Practitioner Lorna Keating said the choir has been a huge success to date.

The proceeds of the night will go towards the Oncology Unit in Naas for a Vein Tracker, which will allow for easy access to patients veins.

Acute palliative care also requires a “Tablet Library” for oncology patients to contact the acute oncology nurse for virtual consultations.

Lorna added: "We would also like to support the Solas rooms in Naas for the care of the dying.

Tickets are €15 and available from all choir members or Gwen in NGH.

On the night, the choir is supported by The HSE Harmonies Choir and the Liffey Choir in Newbrigde.

There will also be a Raffle on the night or donations can be made through the QR code on the posters or through a choir member.
