To complement the established services, the ESNEFT oncology team are committed to collaborative working, to ensure the long-term sustainability of oncology service provision and to increase opportunities, training and research for medical staff.


ESNEFT's vision is to provide one central integrated Cancer Centre at each site that combines first class radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and medical treatments, alongside a holistic range of therapies, information, support and advice.


Both hospitals have a Cancer Centreproviding state-of-the-art facilities delivering first class medical care and the most advanced treatments, alongside a range of complementary and alternative therapies.

Purpose-built, sympathetic environments enable the best possible holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to the care of all cancer patients and their loved ones.

The Cancer Centre at Colchester General Hospital brings together all cancer-related services into one location. The Collingwood Centre is a new chemotherapy and Haematology day unit that opened in November 2019. This adjoins the Radiotherapy Centre.

The Collingwood Day Unit delivers both chemotherapy and supportive treatments for oncology and haematology patients. The Unit is run by Chemotherapy competent Nursing staff who deliver all the outpatient chemotherapy.


There is a Mobile Cancer Care unit, which travels to four areas surrounding Colchester and operate four days a week, which is staffed by the experienced nurses from the Collingwood centre.

The provisions of this service allows the chemotherapy department to deliver treatments closer to home and is a favourable service for our patients.

The unit delivers an in-house PICC placement service, supporting timely pathways for our patients.
