is reaching out

Cancer of the face, throat or mouth can affect people of all ages, including cancer of the larynx, tongue, tonsils, lips etc. Treatment is lengthy due to the complex functions of the head and neck such as speech, swallowing or sight. Many patients stay in hospital for a long period of time following surgery. Rehabilitation is intense, involving a large multi-disciplinary team. It's aim is to meet the patient's unique needs in terms of facial disfiguration and loss of self-image, along with associated psychological, communication and functional problems. The new building will provide :- • New bedrooms with en-suite facilities • New consulting rooms with natural light • Designated rooms for the specialist nurses and multidisciplinary team • A more suitable Environment to meet the patient's needs.
