Your Visit, Made Clearer

Plan Your Care With Confidence

Find the practical guidance you need for appointments, treatment visits and supporting someone in your care.

Support at Every Step of Your Visit

At the National Radiotherapy Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Centre, patients and visitors can expect clear guidance from arrival through follow-up. Our Centre of Excellence brings together radiotherapy, oncology and nuclear medicine services with a commitment to safe, compassionate care. Your care team will explain your appointment, answer questions about tests or treatment, and let you know what happens next. Visitors can help by checking appointment details in advance, following on-site guidance and asking staff about available support. Because preparation varies by service, follow the instructions provided with your referral or appointment letter and contact the centre if anything is unclear.
