Treatment of cancer in London: The Wellington Hospital
The Wellington Hospital's new Platinum Medical Centre is bringing cancer care, diagnosis together in a defined approach. The centre will provide a blend of leading surgical care, specialist medical treatment and state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging.
Chemotherapy will be delivered in a special ten-bed unit which has been developed in partnership with The London Oncology Centre (LOC).
This will be supported by high-end cancer diagnostics so that patients requiring ongoing cancer care will have access to all necessary treatment on site.
The imaging department – run by a highly experienced team of professionals including specialist radiographers, technologists and nurses - is one of the largest and most advanced in the country and supports the LOC withdiagnostic CT and PET/CT scans, ultrasound and digital radiology.
Having this equipment on site means results can quickly be made available to consultants to increase the speed of diagnosis and start of treatment.
The new oncology centre will mainly focus on gastro intestinal, liver, head and neck, and gynaecological cancers.
Other types of cancer will continue to be treated in the specialist departments in the main hospital building.
