The Unit is located within a couple of minutes’ walk to the radiotherapy department and the other facilities within the hospital, allowing us to offer regional specialist Cancer services at a single location. Hamwic House is also located next to Oncology Pharmacy (Platinum House) allowing onsite preparation of specialist SACT treatment.

Upon entering Hamwic House you will be welcomed by the reception team and booked in for your appointment. You will then be directed to the waiting area where you will then be called for whichever appointment you are attending for.

There are 26 treatment chairs, two side rooms and a procedure room where SACT and supportive therapies are administered.
