The Young Persons Unit (YPU) at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham treats teenagers and young adults, aged 16-24, with cancer. These young people, in the midst of their already difficult journey to adulthood, suddenly find themselves faced with a possibly life-threatening illness. Many must put life on hold, just as it is starting to take off. YPU is designed to ensure that teenagers and young adults are diagnosed efficiently, treated effectively, and have the support they need to make it through their treatment and rebuild their lives after cancer. UHB Charity fund a number of projects to support patients including Breakfast Clubs, Pizza Nights, and even a specialist teacher.
