New ward open for renal, oncology and haematology in Menzies Building

On 9 December a new renal centre was opened in the Menzies Building.

Congratulations to all the staff involved in this, I understand there was many months of planning and work involved.

The new space includes:

• a new 10 chair space for renal dialysis patients who are on assisted care

• a facility for storage, maintenance and repair of the dialysis machines

• new offices for five Cancer Psychological and Social Support staff

• a hot desk office for 11 RMOs (who I’m told now have the best view in town).
