  • Increases appointment availability and staff capacity within hospitals and oncology departments
  • Enables patients to be seen quickly, with reduced waiting and treatment times
  • Gives new cancer patients accessibility to mobile cancer care in their local community.

For patients like Ian, his local mobile cancer care unit has been a lifeline. Ian says,

It has saved me a lot of time, money and effort as I was travelling every four weeks to hospital, which was about an hour round trip, about 14 miles. Now it’s just about 400 metres from where I live in Thetford. I just run straight across the road and on there…
I would have to say, socially, financially, and time was the unit has benefitted me. It’s fantastic. It’s not just me, it’s my family as well. I’m now home more than I am stuck in the hospital. They’ve never even seen the unit or been on it. But them seeing the change in me tells them everything about the service.

I just can’t explain how convenient it is. I’m not paying fuel to get to the hospital. I’m not paying parking fees. I’m not stuck in traffic. I’m not having to rely on other people when I can’t drive myself. I can’t praise the unit highly enough. It’s been a godsend.
