New Oncology unit on the way for Island

Work gets underway next week on a project to create a new Oncology unit at Noble’s Hospital.

The purpose-built unit will arise from the conversion of the hospital’s former Ward 5 and will provide therapy areas, several single patient rooms, clinic rooms within a new outpatients’ suite.
 
Patients attending for chemotherapy will have direct access to the new oncology unit.

The new unit will provide 10 chemotherapy stations in bays reserved for men and women, an increase on the current six chemo stations in one bay.
