The Oncology and Haematology department is a designated principal treatment centre (PTC) for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers in children and young people. 

It is one of the largest Children's Cancer Centres in the UK and sees over 260 new patients every year, making us one of the busiest centres in the country.

Our home in Waterfall House includes our Outpatients Department, which includes treatment rooms, a theatre/procedure room and daycare where the majority of outpatient-based chemotherapy/treatment will be given.
