The PCT now has a 'Hope for Tomorrow' unit.

Wiltshire PCT has acquired a "Hope for Tomorrow" mobile chemotherapy unit.

Click here for an explanation of what it does.

The new unit and support vehicle will help bring chemotherapy assessment, treatment and support closer to the homes of hundreds more cancer patients. Previously patients often had to travel many miles to their nearest oncology centre, having to rely on family, friends - or even public transport - to get there. This frequently meant that their chemotherapy treatment took over a whole day. With the mobile chemotherapy unit their treatment can be incorporated into a day, rather than taking up a day.
