Abstract

Gives best practice advice on the design and layout of cancer facilities within acute hospitals, primarily chemotherapy and radiotherapy facilities. Although it is aimed at new builds, the recommendations should be applied, where possible, when existing facilities are being upgraded. It describes a radiotherapy unit, a chemotherapy unit, and a dedicated out-patients unit for cancer patients.
