For nearly 70 years, the Velindre Cancer Centre has offered vital specialist cancer treatment and support to people across south Wales.

We are proud of our history, but we are constantly evolving to meet the growing demands for cancer services. More and more of us are being diagnosed with cancer, and people are living longer with cancer.

Now more than ever, we need to adapt to make sure we continue to provide the world-class care Velindre is known for. Our dedicated staff treat and care for thousands of patients from across south Wales every single year but the current cancer centre does not have the facilities or space necessary to meet the future needs of our patients and staff. 

Construction of our new Velindre Cancer Centre is underway, and it's one of the biggest projects Wales has seen in decades. 

It will be one of the most sustainable hospitals in the UK, providing leading cancer care for our patients and a better environment for our dedicated staff.

Our dedicated staff are working together with Acorn, the consortium chosen to construct the new cancer centre, to build a facility that will serve future generations for decades to come.

Our new cancer centre is critical in safeguarding the provision of crucial treatment and care for the 1.5 million people of south Wales and is critical to keep pace with the increasing demand.

We’re not giving every patient the best possible service joined up close to home wherever they live. So, across the system, whatever our roles and wherever we are based, we're coming together to improve our cancer services. Alongside our new Velindre Cancer Centre we're also building a satellite radiotherapy centre in Abergavenny. 

Construction of the new Velindre Cancer Centre is underway and we are scheduled to open in Spring 2027.
