About us

Our cutting-edge cancer services are mainly provided at the South West Wales Cancer Centre at Singleton Hospital, Swansea.

However, people living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis may also be treated at Morriston and Neath Port Talbot hospitals.

Most people are treated as out patients, but some require in-patient treatment.

 

Urgent medical advice for people with cancer

If you experience central chest pain please phone 999.

To seek urgent advice 24 hours a day, seven days a week, please call the Oncology/ Haematology Triage Helpline on 01792 618829.     

If the call goes to answer machine please leave your contact details and hospital number and a nurse will return your call.

The 24 hour Oncology/ Haematology Triage Helpline is staffed by experienced nurses who will go through a thorough telephone assessment with you. Please do not be alarmed by some of the questions they ask, this is to ensure they get a full picture of what is going on before giving you advice.

 

Financial advice, including benefits

Financial concerns can be a big worry after diagnosis.
