Our project will support families of patients receiving treatment at the Milton Keynes Cancer Centre. We will create an area that provides a comfortable and welcoming space for these families - including those with children - to spend time in whilst those they love are going through treatment.
Situation
The current cancer services at Milton Keynes University Hospital are stretched to capacity. With an overcrowded waiting room, at times long waits to be seen and increasingly cramped conditions this places extra pressure on the patient and their family during an already anxious and stressful time. With already higher than average cancer rates in Milton Keynes and the projected population growth, the facilities simply cannot cope. The only way we can solve the problem is with a new cancer centre.
Solution
The new cancer centre will transform cancer care for everyone, but for families this means a more spacious, welcoming and brighter environment to spend time in. We will incorporate artwork into the build, provide televisions and supply the area with those little things that make a huge difference -iPads, headphones, magazines and toys for children, too.
