On Ward 3 we care for patients who are receiving systemic anti-cancer treatments and radiotherapy treatment that require an inpatient admission. The ward also specialises in the care of head and neck cancer patients.
The ward cares for patients requiring admission for both treatment and side effects of systemic anti-cancer treatments and/or radiotherapy and symptom management. Patients requiring artificial airway management are also nursed on the ward.
