The Mulberry Suite at The Sarum Road Hospital in Winchester is a dedicated cancer treatment unit offering a full range of systemic anti-cancer treatments. Situated on the ground floor overlooking the gardens; the unit provides a peaceful environment in which to receive state of the art cancer treatments (including immunotherapeutics and intravesical therapeutics). All patients are treated in private rooms by a specialist team of oncology nurses. 

Safe, personalised treatment 

We offer innovative, consultant led treatments for a wide range of cancers including breast, bowel, gynaecological, lung and gastrointestinal in a calm and tranquil private environment where family and friends are welcome. The dedicated Oncology Unit nurses are skilled in dealing with symptom management, whether due to the side effects of treatment or the disease itself. 

The team works closely with the pharmacist, physiotherapists, dietitian and complementary therapist and the counsellor. Understanding that patient and family involvement are essential components of holistic care, the nurses provide patient/family education and support during each individual’s unique cancer journey. The Oncology Unit offers personalised care that meets the highest standards in cancer treatment. 

Our family-centred approach to care recognises the impact of a cancer diagnosis on patients and family members alike. We encourage loved ones and friends to visit. The unit has been awarded the Macmillan Quality Environment Mark (MQEM). The award highlights the environment; clever, sensitive design improves the outcomes and wellbeing of people living with cancer. Information about the cancer team, including contact information, can be found on the meet the team page.
