Cancer services
We have a dedicated cancer unit, working in partnership with other nearby cancer units and centres such as Whipps Cross and Barts and the London Hospitals.
Cancer care is a specialist area of medicine; different hospitals offer different services to support and complement each other, and to make sure that patients get all the specialist care they need.
We care for approximately 500 new cancer patients every year, this ranges from newly diagnosed patients through to patients requiring palliative care. All patients with suspected cancer are seen within two weeks of a GP referral.
