About us

Welcome! We are the specialist centre for non-surgical treatments for cancer and provide radiotherapy and haematology services to Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

We hope this website will help answer some of the questions you may have. We are here to help and support you, and so if you have any questions that are not covered, please ask. 

Starting from August 2012 for 18 months there are major changes to the patient and visitor parking and drop off arrangements at Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC). When planning your journey please be aware that you will need to park in one of the alternative car parks nearby or arrange for someone to drop you off at the entrance and park elsewhere. If you do come by car, please leave yourself extra time in case you need to search for a space. Drop-off points are available at the entrance of the BHOC. Find out more about the building works happening at the BHOC or see our map of nearby alternative car parks.

Planning your first visit to the centre

Our patient's guide to the BHOC is packed with information on our services. Download a printable guide on how to find us or read online. When you arrive please report to the reception desk on the ground floor, where our reception team will be happy to direct you to the right place.

If you have any questions about your outpatient appointment time, please telephone 0117 342 2460. 

Coming to visit friends or relatives on the ward

There are two wards in the centre, Ward 61 and Ward 62.

Ward 61 cares for patients receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment, as well as those who develop treatment side effects. Ward telephone number: 0117 342 2428

Ward 62 cares for patients with haematological conditions, including non-malignant conditions like haemophilia and sickle-cell disorders. Please note that as of Friday 7 June, Ward 62 will have moved to temporary new location while essential refurbishment work takes place at the Bristol Haematology & Oncology Centre over the next six months.  To access Ward 62 please follow the new signs from the main reception of the BHOC. 
Ward telephone number: 0117 342 2255

Both wards have open visiting hours to allow visitors the flexibility to visit patients when convenient. Please help us to prevent the spread of infections in our hospitals. We may need to restrict the number of visitors at any one time, and if you or anyone you have been in close contact with has been unwell in the last 48 hours with symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting or flu please do not visit.
