Our Children's Cancer Unit is the principal treatment centre for children in the West Midlands. The centre is in a 30 year old extension building that is cramped and unsuitable for today's needs. Our mission is to refurbish & develop it to match the world class care provided by our medical staff.

    Situation

    We see over 240 new cases and 14,000 inpatient & outpatient visits every year. Increased demand means that the ward and treatment areas are always full and are cramped, uncomfortable and unsuitable for the needs of our young patients and their families. Capacity issues also mean that sometimes our young cancer patients have to be admitted to non-Cancer wards.

    Solution

    Our mission is to refurbish and develop the Cancer Centre so that it matches the world class care being provided by our medical staff. By providing more cubicles, spacious bed areas and altering our Chemotherapy & Outpatient Units we will be able to treat all our young Cancer patients in one place and make it a more comfortable and relaxed environment suited to their needs. We aim to create a 'home away from home' so they can still enjoy their childhood as children first - and not patients.
