The Dyson Cancer Centre is set to open in 2023
Last updated 24th Jul 2022
It's been a year since construction work started on the new Dyson Cancer Centre in Bath - and bosses at the RUH are giving us a look at how things are going.
They've released a video to mark the first twelve months of work, showing just what's been going on behind the hoardings.
When complete it'll have oncology, chemotherapy and radiotherapy services, as well as a 22 bed inpatient unit.
The site isn't open to the public yet, but staff who will be working in the new centre have joined behind the hoardings tours, to start to get a feel for the new building.
Libby Walters, Deputy Chief Executive and senior responsible officer for the project, said, “After all those years of careful planning and preparation it’s so exciting to watch the Dyson Cancer Centre come to life.
“This building will help us transform the cancer services we provide for our South West community, and ensure we can retain and attract the very best staff to deliver high quality care."
The centre will also boast a research team, a dedicated pharmacy, family accommodation and the hospital's nuclear medicine and physics teams.
It's on track to open in late autumn 2023.
