It is great to be working with Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) on the new Radiotherapy Centre, which welcomes its first patients from today. The new centre, located on the Milton Keynes University Hospital site, is run by an expert multidisciplinary team at OUH and is linked to our Cancer Centre that opened in 2020. Our Chief Executive, Joe Harrison CBE, said: "This new facility... represents a significant step forward in providing our community with access to a wide range of essential, high-quality cancer treatments right here at home. This collaboration with OUH underscores our broader commitment to enhancing healthcare services and improving patient outcomes in Milton Keynes.”
We're delighted to announce the first patients will begin receiving radiotherapy at the new Oxford University Hospitals Radiotherapy Centre @ Milton Keynes from today. The new centre is run by an expert multidisciplinary team from Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) and is linked to the Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) Cancer Centre that opened in 2020. The new Radiotherapy Centre will make it much easier for many cancer patients who will now be able to receive life-saving treatment locally in Milton Keynes. Previously, almost all patients from Milton Keynes and the surrounding area who needed radiotherapy travelled much further afield to Oxford and other places for their treatment. The department has been built to allow for future expansion, providing the opportunity to increase capacity and further reduce the travel required for the majority of those needing radiotherapy. This project, funded jointly by Milton Keynes University Hospital with the aid of a grant from Milton Keynes Council and OUH with financial support from NHS England, strengthens our partnership with Milton Keynes University Hospital. This partnership already includes OUH delivering renal services and some cardiology in the city of Milton Keynes. The two Trusts believe that their partnership allows the local population to have better access to specialist care closer to home. 🗣️ Professor Meghana Pandit, Chief Executive Officer at OUH said: "It has been our ambition to bring specialist care such as radiotherapy treatment closer to patients’ homes and I am absolutely delighted that the Oxford University Hospitals Radiotherapy Centre @ Milton Keynes is today treating patients in Milton Keynes. This follows many years of planning and hard work of many individuals and teams to get to this point. 🗣️ "We know that this new facility is really very important for local patients and their families. The reduction in travel time means less stress and anxiety and more time to do other things. This brings quality care closer to home for our patients, which reflects our Trust values of Compassion, Delivery and Excellence." Thank you to all involved for this fantastic project 💙 More on this project in our news story ⬇️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dRT98VNj
