We have the facilities to diagnose and treat many types of cancer.

A wide range of services for both adults and young people includes: 

  • Specialist surgery
  • Chemotherapy (drug therapy)
  • Haemato-oncology (cancer of the blood)
  • Palliative services
  • Supportive care services 
  • Psychological services

We provide inpatient, day-case and outpatient services for cancer treatments.

Where highly specialised treatments are required, patients are referred to the appropriate specialist centre, which is usually a recognised centre of excellence for that particular type of cancer and its treatment.

For example, lung surgery patients (for lung cancer) are referred to the Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust and/or the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; patients requiring radiotherapy are referred for treatment at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford.
