A CALL has been made for volunteers to lend a hand at Worcester’s new cancer treatment centre.
The Worcestershire Oncology Centre at Worcestershire Royal Hospital is due to open to patients in January 2015 and needs volunteers to help out in a number of areas including the Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre.
Other roles include meeting and greeting patients and their families and helping out in the shop and coffee shop run by the Royal Voluntary Service.
The state-of-the-art centre will mean 95 per cent of cancer patients in Worcestershire, who currently face long journeys to Coventry, Cheltenham or Wolverhampton for radiotherapy treatment, will be able to be treated within the county, saving an estimated one million miles of travel every year.
For more information call 01905 733159 or email Elizabeth.williams@worcsacute.nhs.uk.
