Sandra Chapman Centre

We deliver care and support to patients with malignant and non-malignant conditions, including blood disorders and cancers. Treatment for these conditions, investigative procedures and emergency care is performed in the unit. 

Around fifty to sixty patients attend the Centre each day for treatments such as chemotherapy and blood transfusions.

Treatment, care and support are provided by a team of doctors and nurses with a wide range of specialised skills.

The Centre enables treatments to be given on a day care basis. This means patients who previously had to stay in hospital for several days can now remain at home and in the community as much as possible.

• Blood Transfusions
