Rosemere Cancer Foundation have launched an appeal to raise £100k for a new state-of-the-art chemotherapy unit at Burnley General Hospital

The £200,000 development, set to open spring 2016, will mean people are not forced to travel to Manchester’s Christie hospital or the specialist Rosemere Cancer Centre at Royal Preston Hospital for treatment.

The £100,000 appeal has now been launched by Rosemere to help pay for the unit through public donations, while East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust is also set to contribute £100,000.

The hospital currently has a small chemotherapy suite but it is too small to meet the demands of the 3,000 people from East Lancashire who are newly diagnosed with cancer approximately each year.
