GenesisCare UK opens specialist centre in Guildford to offer personalised cancer care
Private cancer care provider GenesisCare has officially opened its state-of-the-art centre in Guildford, Surrey, boosting cancer care in the region.
The £30 million specialist outpatient centre for oncology and radiotherapy will be led by an experienced team, increasing access to the latest innovations in diagnostics and radiotherapy for patients from Surrey and beyond. The medical team includes consultants practising at local and nationally recognised hospitals, and offers patients all over the south-east personalised cancer treatments.
“We’re delighted to open our doors and welcome patients from Surrey and the surrounding areas to this excellent new centre,” said centre leader for GenesisCare in Surrey Jimmy Kwok. “We’ll be providing patients access to some of the most advanced diagnostic and radiotherapy treatments available and working closely with leading health professionals, to deliver an outstanding personalised patient cancer care experience.”
The cancer centre and research hub is the result of a partnership between GenesisCare UK and the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust to provide patients access to the latest treatment options for cancer.
GenesisCare ceo UK and Europe Justin Hely said: “We’re delighted to be extending our partnership with Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, a recognised centre of excellence for cancer. Our new facility will offer innovative treatments, novel therapies and clinical trials proven to deliver improved patient outcomes to cancer patients across the south-east of England.”
