The warm, compassionate Clatterbridge care patients value so much.
- We estimate around 90% of Wirral and West Cheshire patient attendances will continue to take place in Wirral. Patients will only need to travel to Liverpool for inpatient care, the more complex treatments or treatment as part of an early-stage clinical trial. All outpatient chemotherapy will be available at Wirral, as well as radiotherapy for common cancers including breast, prostate and lung.
- The National Centre for Eye Proton Therapy – the only service of its kind in the UK – will remain in Wirral.
- The satellite radiotherapy unit at Aintree will remain, with radiotherapy for common cancers and the specialist stereotactic radiosurgery service for brain tumours.
- Chemotherapy clinics in hospitals and other locations across Merseyside and Cheshire will also continue.
- Patients, including those from Wirral, will receive an even better quality of care.
