Academic Directorate of Specialised Cancer
The Academic Directorate of Specialised Cancer is comprised of Clinical Oncology and Radiation Services and based at Weston Park Hospital (WPH), a purpose built cancer hospital on the University campus site, which provides non-surgical oncology services to adults with cancer across North Trent.
The catchment population is 1.8 million and the Directorate teams register more than 6000 new cancer patients a year either at WPH or in oncology clinics across North Trent.
If you are interested in getting actively involved,, there is a Consumer Research Panel that aims to engage both cancer patients and carers in the process of research into the causes, treatment and palliation of cancer illnesses. For more information please click here
