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.
From the end of February
you'll see the new revolving door into the Bristol
Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC) in use, as the work to
extend and refurbish the facility nears completion. New lifts and
stairs outside the main entrance will take visitors directly to the
day unit, haematology and apheresis unit, while all other areas are
accessed via the main reception. A directory of our services,
floor by floor, is available here.
We're also opening more parking
spaces in front of the hospital, as well as additional parking
nearby on Marlborough Hill. See our map of nearby alternative car parks.
Planning your first visit to the centre
Our patient's guide

your outpatient appointment time, please telephone 0117 342

Ward 62 cares for patients with
haematological conditions, including non-malignant conditions like

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. Find
