We are one of the largest cancer centres in the UK and recognise that we need to make access to our services and expert staff as easy as possible for our patients. As such, our consultants deliver clinics at various sites close to patients’ homes, in the surrounding general hospitals of Cheshire, Merseyside and the Isle of Man.

The specialist nursing teams from our Chemotherapy service also deliver outpatient chemotherapy treatments to our patients at three other clinics within local hospitals across the region. To make your chemotherapy treatment more convenient for you, we will try where possible to offer your appointments closer to your home. You will still be treated by the same expert Clatterbridge staff at:

• Southport & Ormskirk Hospital
• Halton General Hospital
• The Marina Dalglish Centre (Aintree University Hospital)

We also offer a pioneering Treatment at Home service where our nurses will travel to your home to give you your chemotherapy treatment. Please ask your cancer doctor or nurse if this treatment option is available to you.
