The Edward Jenner Day Unit Appeal: Gloucestershire Royal Hospital

  Most of us know of some-one who is or has had to undergo chemotherapy. At the present time the majority of chemotherapy is given at the Oncology Centre at Cheltenham General Hospital.  People local to Gloucester, Stroud and the Forest of Dean have to travel to Cheltenham for their treatment.  There is a huge demand for “chair space” for chemotherapy and blood transfusion at Cheltenham.  Many patients have to wait for several days for transfusion due to lack of space.

 The proposal is to build an extension to the Edward Jenner Unit, GRH to be called the Linc Suite, and to redesign and refurbish the whole unit to provide a modern state of the art waiting and treatment area.  This would be a dedicated Day Unit at Gloucester with a capacity of 14-15 reclining chairs in total – thereby doubling the capacity.  The benefit being given freedom of choice and allowing chemotherapy for patients to be carried out more locally in Gloucester, and be booked into the Linc Suite at Edward Jenner Unit from either Gloucestershire Royal or Cheltenham General.

  Please come along and support this appeal and enjoy each other’s company over a bowl of soup. 

 Thank you!
