“I’m very excited to offer this opportunity to open our doors, however virtually, to give our community first-hand insight into the incredible work of our teams.
“Those who have joined us for past events will have heard about how we were able to continue the highest standard of cancer care through COVID-19. This event is a great opportunity for you to hear how we are looking beyond as we think about what cancer care can look like now and as we move towards a new hospital in Hampshire.
“I look forward to seeing you there!”
