About our Williams Day Unit treatment suite

In the unit we administer treatments to patients with a variety of cancers. The unit has 22 treatment chairs and 2 beds.

We have a very experienced team of nurses and healthcare assistants, overseen by the clinical nurse manager for chemotherapy. We know that this is a very difficult time for you and always have your best interests at heart. We will administer your treatment safely, expertly and with the minimum of discomfort possible. We are here to help and support you throughout your treatment journey and you are always welcome to ask us any questions.

On arrival, a nurse will explain everything to you and guide you through what is going to happen for your treatment day. The nurse will be able to answer any questions you may have to help put your mind at ease and allow you to be comfortable throughout your treatment. You will be provided with the ‘Your treatment record’ information booklet.

Patients may feel overwhelmed during treatment. Created by professionals and patients, this new tool helps everyone stay on track. It includes information on treatment types, appointment and test results log, space to record side effects, and much more.

Staff at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust have created a video to show patients how to use the treatment records effectively.

Central Venous Access (CVA)

We provide a nurse-led service for adult patients who are receiving SACT and require the insertion of a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC). You will be referred by either your consultant, clinical nurse specialist (CNS) or one of the Williams Day Unit (WDU) nursing team.
