Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC):

During patients' treatment for cancer or haematological disorders they may develop acute symptoms or complications of their disease and SACT treatment. We have a dedicated phone line for patients to contact, where they are triaged by our nursing team, giving advice over the phone or, if necessary, asking them to come into the unit for further assessment and treatment. Here they are seen by the medical team or one of our Advanced Nurse Practitioners. The SDEC area has space for 7 patients at any one time.

Rapid Access:

This service is also for both oncology and haematology patients needing urgent treatment, outside of the planned elective pathway. Patients are booked into the clinic at short notice for interventions such as blood transfusions, drainage of ascites, and various intravenous medications. We also provide a procedure list for bone-marrow aspirations. The Rapid Access area has 7 spaces for patients at any one time and a Pentamidine chair.
