The Yorkshire Cancer Centre is the fundraising arm of St James’s Institute of Oncology (pictured left) and provides supplementary benefits; specialist medical equipment, research and development and patient ‘home comforts’.
Each day, the Institute has responsibility for treating 1,500 patients from a catchment population of 2.6 million, most of whom will have had a cancer diagnosis.
Our appeal aims to supplement NHS budgets by purchasing those ‘extras’ to help ensure that our patients continue to receive the very best that this centre can provide.
A £10 million appeal was launched in 2007 immediately prior to the relocation of Oncology services to Bexley Wing. This four stranded appeal aims provide funding towards specialist medical equipment, scientific research & development, patient ‘home comforts’ and arts and gardens projects. You can read more about the four strands of our appeal here.
We're planning for the next ten years - aiming even higher, developing research and treatments to ensure more people survive cancer through prevention, early detection and diagnosis, treatment and aftercare.
With your help we can improve cancer outcomes for patients throughout Yorkshire as we continue to challenge this indiscriminate disease that still claims one in three lives in the UK. |
