ECC @ SJH (Ward 15)

ECC @ SJH (Ward 15) is the day treatment ward for patients who have been diagnosed with cancer or have a haematological condition.  We specialise in delivering a variety of cancer therapies, predominantly chemotherapy and immunotherapies. We also administer some supportive therapies. We are open from 0800 – 1830 hours.  Patients will have a reclining chair for the duration of their treatment. Patients are welcome to bring laptops or other electronic devices as some treatments can be long day treatments. Hospital Wifi is available.  

The ward Comprises 3 treatment areas. We have side rooms for infection control purposes. 

Each area has 6 reclining chairs and the ward has an additional 4 side rooms with a chair. There are 3 examination rooms that are used for varies procedures and examinations. Consultants run weekly pre assessment clinics and the rooms are used by both the medical and Nursing teams.

The ward has a waiting area with lots of supportive reading material and volunteers to offer support (certain days only). 

Due to limited space in the ward we are unfortunately unable to accommodate visitors. But on patients first visit to the unit, when they are receiving a lot of information about their treatment and any potential side effects if they would prefer to have someone with them to hear that information. We can arrange translators for patients as required.
