London’s Cancer Centre at Guy’s Hospital
Patients suffering from cancer in London will soon have a new option for treatment. The Cancer Centre at Guy’s Hospital, set to open in 2016, has been created with a village concept. Patients will be able to get all of their care at one location. The four “villages” are: the Welcome Village, the Radiotherapy Village, the Chemotherapy Village, and the Outpatients Village.
