About Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre
BHOC provides specialist non-surgical treatments for people with cancer, and for people who do not have cancer but require specialist radiotherapy or haematology services. The three main specialities are oncology, haematology, and palliative care.
We are the only Comprehensive Care Centre for Haemophilia in the South West. As well as being the cancer treatment centre for Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset, we provide specialist services to people from across the South West. We are part of the Avon, Somerset and Wiltshire Cancer network.
There are two wards in BHOC (Ward 61: oncology, Ward 62: haematology) and two day units (chemotherapy and haematology). There is a combined outpatients department. The radiotherapy treatment floor on LG2 (lower ground 2) has five linacs (linear accelerators) and a brachytherapy theatre. The building houses an isotopes unit with 5 single-bedded rooms on an isolation corridor on Ward 61.
Chemotherapy in the community
BHOC provides services in the community at our satellite clinic at Whitchurch Health Centre (Wed - Fri) and giving chemotherapy in patients' homes in partnership with NHS Bristol and Healthcare at Home.
Clinical trials unit
The trials team ensure that patients have the opportunity to be involved in relevant studies, and provide information, support, treatment and follow-up as part of the Avon Somerset and Wiltshire Cancer Research Network (ASWCRN).
