“ Velindre Hospital has been providing support and care to cancer patients in South Wales for over 50 years. Every possible effort is made to ensure that each visit to Velindre is as comfortable as possible, and our experienced staff aim to provide high quality care to patients and their families.
It is this commitment to high quality care which means that Velindre is widely regarded being a Centre of Excellence. We are the largest non-surgical cancer hospital in Wales providing Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy and other specialised treatments. During 2006/07 Velindre provided care and treatment for over 65,000 day case and regular attendees and over 35,000 outpatient attendees.
While Velindre Hospital is the main focus for our services, we also hold a large number of outpatient clinics at other hospitals throughout South East Wales. We are also very proud of our contribution, and continued commitment to a wide range of world renowned research projects. Velindre Cancer Centre plays an important role in the specialist training of cancer nurses, pharmacists and medical physicists.
However, all these vital services, training and research projects need continued support.
Our most recent Appeal has been to raise funds for the complete re-development of the hospital's high dependency ward, the Active Support Unit. The new development will be a high quality unit with state of the art facilities. This will ensure that Welsh cancer patients receive the level of support they need, with dignity and privacy. The new ASU will also help us to provide the essential day to day care so important for patient morale - such as telephones by each bed, internet access, and well equipped day rooms.
On behalf of everyone at Velindre Cancer Centre many, many thanks to the Tredegar Town Band for your continued help and support “
