Ground-breaking at OUH Swindon Radiotherapy Centre on the Great Western Hospital site

Описание: We were delighted to hold a socially-distanced celebration to mark the start of work on the Swindon Radiotherapy Unit. Watch a video of the ground-breaking ceremony by following this link:

The project has been an aspiration for clinicians, heath planners and local people for many years and the ground-breaking ceremony is another milestone in its delivery.

The £18m Radiotherapy Centre is a partnership between our Trust and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and was made possible thanks to the £2.9m raised by our Brighter Futures charity.

It is estimated that the new centre will save over 13,000 journeys to Oxford every year. The Swindon Radiotherapy Centre is an expansion of OUH’ radiotherapy service, currently provided solely from the Churchill Hospital in Oxford.

The Radiotherapy Centre feeds into our Trust’s exciting plans to continue to upgrade and expand a whole range of services on the Great Western Hospital site through our Way Forward Programme, which will include an expanded and co-located urgent and emergency care service and a centre of excellence for rehabilitation.
