The new cancer treatment centre has been designed to improve patient experience. It will offer a holistic approach to cancer care byco-location of treatments and support in a safe and human environment. Chemotherapy treatment is already given in Basingstoke and Winchester, but patients have to travel to Southampton or Guildford for radiotherapy. This can mean a journey everyday for up to six weeks when patients arefeeling unwell and vulnerable.

Basingstoke is a growing town and we have to look after our residents to become the nationally recognised 'Amazingstoke' that I am proud to live in.
