The unit delivers a wide range of medical oncology and haematology treatments, including:
- Chemotherapy

- Targeted therapies
- Blood transfusions
- Supportive cancer treatments
Care is delivered by a highly experienced team of oncology nurses, supported by oncologists, haematologists, pharmacists, and allied health professionals who work closely together to ensure safety, comfort, and continuity of care.
Designed around patients and families
The John Stedman Day Oncology Unit has been thoughtfully designed to prioritise patient comfort, privacy, and dignity. Treatment spaces are light-filled and spacious, with access to supportive services that help patients feel at ease during longer treatment sessions.
Patients also benefit from seamless access to:
