Medical Oncology

What we do

We provide a comprehensive medical (non-surgical) service for patients with cancer. Each patient with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of cancer has his/her case discussed at a multidisciplinary team meeting, where an individual treatment plan is agreed. We provide inpatient and outpatient chemotherapy, non-surgical treatment of cancer and supportive and palliative care. A patient may also be eligible to take part in a clinical trial of a new cancer treatment. All patients have access to an oncology liaison Nurse who can provide information and advice.

Appointment Instructions

When a new Out-patient patient appointment is made, the patient will be contacted with an appointment card outlining the date, time and location of appointment.   All patients receive a reminder of their appointment by text message, if a mobile number has been provided.

If an urgent appointment is necessary, the patient will be contacted by phone by one of the liaison team.

All return appointments are made at reception before the patient leaves the clinic.  Rescheduled or cancelled appointments can be arranged by phoning the Centre or the relevant secretary.
