Mobile Units Fleet
The Marie Keating Foundation have three purpose built mobile units which travel in the Eastern, Western and Southern regions of Ireland. There is a nurse on board who provides cancer information and awareness to the general public free of charge.
The Unit has a welcome area where people can step on, take a seat and wait to see the Nurse. This is not a screening service.
We have information presentations on the mobile units as well as awareness tools such as the smokerlyzer, tar in a jar and body fat scales. The Unit is equipped with take home information leaflets on Bowel, Lung, Skin, Testicular, Prostate, Cervical, Ovarian and Breast cancer. Our Nurse will talk to you one to one in our private area about any concerns you have about cancer for yourself, a relative, work colleague or neighbour.
Where and when do the Units operate?
Our units operate on a three day a week basis, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to provide a nationwide service
How big is the Unit?
The Mobile Unit is 23.8 foot long, 7.5 foot high and 6.8 foot wide and requires four car spaces. In order for us to visit you we would need to park our Unit in a safe suitable location where people can step on and off the Unit. An example of this would be a business or commercial car park, public space within a town or with permission on private land.
Organising a visit?
We manage our schedules 4 weeks in advance so please give the office plenty of time to avoid disappointment.
The Marie Keating Foundation office will promote the event as widely as possible using posters, radio and newspapers and social media where appropriate.
