HCSW in a busy Haematology Oncology Day Unit
Our department:
The newly refurbished Haematology and Oncology Day Unit (HODU) at Airedale Hospital opened in October 2022 following a £175K refurbishment. The unit has seen huge changes including an additional treatment room, upgraded technology in all areas, and 12 pressure-relieving treatment chairs which ensure maximum comfort for patients receiving chemotherapy. The unit has non-slip vinyl flooring, as well as new wall graphics and images in all areas. The rooms have all been decorated with a calm and bright feel to create the best possible environment for those having treatment. Patients were key in deciding what the new unit would look like; they have shared their thoughts about colour schemes, style of furniture and have chosen wall murals for each of the treatment rooms.
