We provide assessment and advice for cancer patients who have severe symptoms or are feeling unwell due to their disease or cancer treatment, through our Acute Oncology Service (AOS). Infections can develop rapidly, so it is essential that you contact us as soon as possible.
We need to hear from you if:
- You suddenly feel unwell
- You do not have a temperature but are feeling very unwell
- Even very slight symptoms may require urgent treatment and must not be ignored. Please call the numbers provided below for the acute oncology service, not your GP. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You will need to attend the Emergency Department (ED) if:
- You are feeling unwell and your temperature is above 37.5 ̊C (99 ̊F)
- Your temperature is below 35 ̊C (95 ̊F)
Information:
Do not attend the Williams Day Unit if you are feeling unwell.
If in doubt, call for advice. We are here to help.
