Velindre Cancer Centre provides specialist cancer services to over 1.5 million people in South East Wales and beyond. They are one of the largest cancer centres in the UK. Each year over 5,000 new referrals and around 50,000 new outpatient appointments are seen. They employ over 670 staff with an annual budget of £49 million. Patients referred to Velindre Cancer Centre come under the care of Clinical and Medical Oncologists. Oncologists specialise in the non-surgical treatment of cancer. Velindre Cancer Centre is the main focus for their services. However they regularly provide outpatient clinics and out-based chemotherapy services at other sites. Patient numbers have risen in recent years. The complexity of treatments and diagnostic techniques available has also increased. This increase is reflected in the need for highly skilled staff. The cancer centre plays a significant role training health care professionals in cancer care and treatment.
