The Service

The department specialises in treating Cancer and Haematology disorders. Oncology doctors treat solid cancers and the haematology team treat blood cancers and also other haematological conditions that are not cancer.

Note: if patients are unwell and on treatment they should ring the 24hr advice number 01225 82 1884

Doctors, specialist nurses, pharmacists and radiographers see patients in the department.

The waiting room is used for patients attending clinics, waiting for radiotherapy treatment and chemotherapy treatment.

The clinics are arranged to see new patients and patients on treatment and follow up.

We are situated in the Zone A. Please note that due to our ongoing building works, the department A12 can be accessed via the Main RUH entrance and the RUH North entrance only. The entrance from the disabled car park (P1/P2) no longer allows access to the department.

The Radiotherapy treatment area and the Chemotherapy suite are located in the department. William Budd day care facility is next door to the department.

There is a reception area staffed Monday to Friday, and waiting room with a trolley bay facility for people to lie down if required. There is access to a patio and garden area.

Drinks and biscuits are served by volunteers and provided by the Bath Cancer Unit Support Group during the morning clinics.

There are seven clinic rooms, a phlebotomy room and a pharmacy service all located in the outpatients unit.

There is a room for wig fitting.

Coming to clinic

Work is beginning very soon to demolish old buildings at the RUH to prepare the ground for our new Dyson Cancer Centre. This will mean some changes if you are visiting Oncology:

  • Blue Badge car park P3 will remain open
  • Access to Zone A for Oncology Outpatients, Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, Day Case and William Budd ward will be via the RUH main entrance
