About the Coombe Hospital NCSL

The Coombe Hospital National Cervical Screening Laboratory (NCSL), on the campus of The Coombe Hospital, is a national ‘Centre of Excellence’ for cervical cancer screening in Ireland and dedicated to servicing the future needs of the Irish national cervical cancer screening programme.

The new, state of the art, bespoke laboratory is designed with the capacity to process the full national caseload and is intended to ultimately become CervicalCheck’s main provider of cervical screening laboratory services in Ireland.

The NCSL houses the Coombe’s HPV, Cytology, and Histology departments and each has its own dedicated floor, designed with their needs and work practices in mind. The laboratory will also serve as the national base for training, education, and research purposes for the National Screening Service’s CervicalCheck screening programme.

The NCSL is a laboratory that Coombe staff can be proud of, as a leading example for women’s health provision, not only in Ireland, at a global level. We look forward to growing our team of skilled professionals and ramping up service provision in the coming years.
