Blackrock Clinic is a private hospital in Blackrock, south County Dublin, founded in 1986 by a group of surgeons and doctors including Joseph and Jimmy Sheehan and Maurice Neligan. It has more than 300 consultants across over 40 specialties and is associated with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and University College Dublin. A large extension was completed in 2010. It works with all the main Irish health insurers as well as with patients who pay for themselves, so its wards see a wide mix of planned operations and specialist treatment.
Short stays and planned surgery
Many patients at Blackrock Clinic are in for planned procedures and stay only a few nights. Before you order, check with the patient or a relative that they will still be there on the delivery day. If the stay is short, send the flowers to the home for the day after they leave instead.
Flowers in a private room
A private room has more space than a public ward, but some patients, for example after heart surgery or during cancer treatment, may be advised to avoid fresh flowers. If you are not sure, ask. A plant, or flowers sent home later, is a safe alternative.
Addressing the delivery
The order should say Blackrock Clinic, Rock Road, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, along with the patient's name and room. For homes in Blackrock village and around it, see the Blackrock page; those deliveries run from Monday to Saturday.

Is it possible to send a bouquet to someone at Blackrock Clinic?
Usually yes, but check first that flowers suit the patient's treatment and that they will still be in on the delivery day. Include the room, if the patient has told you which one.
The patient is only in for a day procedure. What should I do?
Send the flowers to the home instead, timed for the day after the procedure. That way they arrive when the patient is resting and has time to enjoy them, not as they are leaving.
