Why This Unit Matters:

Our goal is to create a world-class facility that offers high-quality care for cancer patients in south east Wales. Once fully operational, the Velindre @ Nevill Hall Radiotherapy Unit will increase our capacity to deliver radiotherapy treatments by 20%. Staffed by a dedicated team of Velindre Cancer Service experts, the Unit will operate as an extension of Velindre Cancer Centre in Whitchurch.

 

Benefits for You:

• Access to treatment: Increased capacity means you should be able to start your treatment sooner.
• Comprehensive Care: Access a full range of radiotherapy services in one place.
• Support and Education: Get the information and support you need throughout your treatment.

 

Who is this for?

The Velindre @ Nevill Hall Radiotherapy Unit will increase Velindre Cancer Service's ability to deliver radiotherapy, helping us see more patients each week. The service will benefit patients from across south east Wales who are referred to Velindre Cancer Service for their radiotherapy treatment.

The Unit will see breast cancer, prostate cancer and palliative radiotherapy patients who meet a set of clinical criteria. 

Patients referred to Velindre Cancer Service will be given an appointment at either Velindre Cancer Centre in Whitchurch or the Velindre @ Nevill Hall Radiotherapy Unit.

The decision on which location a patient is referred will be based on three key factors:

• Medical need: Every patient referred for radiotherapy with us is different. Upon referral into our care, we will assess your medical needs and refer you to the location that is most suitable for you.
• Availability of appointments: Our priority is to help patients start their treatment as soon as we can. This means you will be offered treatment at the location that can see you soonest.
• Location: Where there are appointments available at the Cancer Centre in Whitchurch and at the Velindre @ Nevill Hall Radiotherapy Unit, we will try to refer you to the one which is closest to your home.

 

Our Commitment:

We are dedicated to working with health boards in south east Wales to ensure you receive the best possible care. This unit is part of our ongoing effort to improve cancer services and outcomes for our community.

 

Looking Ahead:

The Radiotherapy Unit is set to open by summer 2025. We are excited to bring these advanced services to you and support your journey to recovery.

If you have any questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help you every step of the way.
