Building Work Starts On New Cancer Centre In Surrey
Vinci has started construction work on a world-class GenesisCare cancer centre and research hub in Surrey.
The centre is being developed in partnership with GenesisCare and Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust on the site of Royal Surrey County Hospital.
Made possible by investment from Assura, this pioneering development will provide patients with access to the latest treatment options for cancer, including highly targeted radiotherapy using a Magnetic Resonance Image Linear Accelerator (MR Linac).
This technology is not widely available in the UK but has been shown to improve outcomes for tumours that are moving or difficult to reach. GenesisCare has used this advanced technology to successfully treat renal, pancreatic, and lung tumours at its Oxford centre, where surgery is not possible due to the complexity of the cancer.
Compared to conventional radiotherapy, treatment can be administered with greater sparing of normal tissues, over a shorter of period of time, resulting in fewer sessions and less disruption for patients. Royal Surrey County Hospital will be one of a handful of Trusts to be able to offer access to this technology to its patients.
Alongside this build, at the same site, planning has been secured to develop a 600 space multistorey staff car park serving Royal Surrey County Hospital.
Both the cancer centre and car park are being built by VINCI Building and are expected to achieve a BREEAM rating of Very Good, with Excellent for the Energy component, and an EPC of A. It will include PV panels, LED lighting throughout and EV charging points. The site will also benefit from creation of a new sensory garden for patient and staff wellbeing.
Jason Griffiths, Regional Director at Vinci, said: "VINCI Building are proud to be delivering this amazing, state of the art cancer centre in Guildford. It will change people's lives in Surrey and we are delighted to be part of the team."
