AYA Services - Trish Gleeson


Listen Later

Trish Gleeson is the CNS for adolescent and young adult cancer in Galway University Hospital.

Nationally, AYA services are developing thanks to people like Trish who understand the needs and adaptions adolescents and young adults need while fighting cancer. 


This group of 16-24 year olds have unique needs, very different to paediatric but also different to adult.

We talk about teens and social inclusion, young adults and alcohol, fertility and education, 

We talk about the validity of needing to belong while also finding a language for what they are uniquely experiencing.  


And why things like chill out areas being funded by Childhood Cancer Ireland are so important to these AYA hospital centres.


To help us to continue our services please text GOLD to FIVE ZERO THREE ZERO ZERO and donate €4 or visit childhoodcancer.ie for more.
