One in two of us will be touched by cancer; a family member,  a friend or someone at work.   We all know people who have been affected in this way.

The  Cancer Appeal will help fund improvements in cancer services at a new cancer centre at Dorset County Hospital.  This is a partnership project between Poole Hospital and Dorset County Hospital, bringing radiotherapy services to Dorchester for the first time. 

As part of this project, Dorset County Hospital Charity is raising £1.75 million to build a new cancer outpatients department.  This will result in bespoke spaces that will transform the experience of local cancer patients coming to DCH by enabling counselling and support services to be offered in rooms right next to the outpatient areas.    The chemotherapy unit will also expand, giving family members space to sit with patients receiving chemotherapy, which they are currently unable to do. 

As a board team, we are taking part in the 'Walk For Wards' 5km on Sunday 2nd July to do out bit to raise funds for the cancer appeal.   We'll be taking part with many of the staff from the hospital and with our family and friends.
