Cancer Centre Opens Doors After Patient-Led Redesign
6 Oct
Summary
- A £2.4m cancer care centre at York Hospital has been redeveloped.
- Patients and families helped design the facility's services and decor.
- The expansion aims to meet growing demand for cancer support.
A newly redeveloped cancer care centre, designed with significant input from patients and their families, has opened its doors at York Hospital. The Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Cancer Care Centre underwent a substantial £2.4 million expansion and refurbishment. This initiative was a collaboration between York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support.
People affected by cancer played a key role in shaping the facility. Their influence extended to the services offered, as well as the interior design elements such as furnishings, artwork, and colour schemes. This patient-centric approach ensures the centre provides a supportive and comfortable space for individuals navigating their cancer journey. The redevelopment was driven by a rising demand for cancer services in the York area and beyond.
