Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity

Did you know?

Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity exists to support the work of Weston Park Hospital 1 of only 3 dedicated cancer hospitals in the country.

Weston Park Hospital provides cancer treatment services for patients across the region - and that means Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Worksop and Chesterfield as well as Sheffield. Increasingly treatment is being delivered in your community and your local hospital all under the expertise of Weston Park Hospital specialists.

Patients come from all over the country and sometimes from abroad for the specialist treatments for which the hospital is internationally recognised.

We built the Weston Park Hospital Cancer Research Centre which opened in 1999 at a cost of £2m. The centre now enables a multimillion pound programme of cancer research across all cancer types - the Cancer Charity continues to support the core work of this facility year on year in addition to funding specific research projects.

Our radiotherapy department is a leading national centre and is one of the best equipped in the country providing some of the shortest waiting times available.

The Cancer Charity has completed a £1m appeal for the new Chemotherapy suite here at Weston Park Hospital ensuring the most modern and up-to-date facilities for this treatment.

Our Cancer Information and Support Centre is a drop-in centre offering patients, their families and carers extra help and support in living with cancer.

The Teenage Cancer Unit at Weston Park Hospital provides a specialised unit for patients aged 16 to 25 which is supported in part by the Cancer Charity.
