The Churchill Hospital is a centre for cancer services and other specialties, including renal services and transplant, clinical and medical oncology, dermatology, haemophilia, infectious diseases, chest medicine, medical genetics and palliative care.
The hospital, together with the nearby John Radcliffe Hospital, is a major centre for healthcare research, housing departments of Oxford University Medical School and Oxford Brookes University’s School of Healthcare Studies.
Developments in recent years include the opening of the Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism (OCDEM), which is a collaboration between the University of Oxford, the NHS and three partner companies, to create a world-class centre for clinical research on diabetes, endocrine and metabolic disorders, along with clinical treatment and education.
In March 2009 a major new building development at the Churchill Hospital was completed, consisting of three key elements:
The new development brings together a wide range of medical and surgical services:
-
cancer medicine (clinical and medical oncology, clinical haematology and radiotherapy)
-
surgery (head and neck, gastrointestinal, breast, and gynaecological cancer and non-cancer surgery)
-
diagnostic services (laboratories, radiology and breast screening)
-
a base for University research teams, working in partnership with NHS colleagues.
The Centre forms a key part of the Trust's strategic plan, ensuring that the Trust meets the NHS Plan and Cancer Plan requirements with respect to improvements in patient care and reductions in waiting times.
