PMH Day Chemotherapy Centre takes on a new look

Patients who need longer treatment can rest in beds in Area B and D, and relax overlooking the container terminals.  

Recently refurbished, the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) Day Chemotherapy Centre originally situated on the third floor of the Oncology Block has been relocated to the fifth floor with the total area doubled and divided into five areas for patients with different needs. Area A, C and E have chairs for relatively stable patients. Those who need longer treatment time can rest in beds in Area B and D and accompanied by family members.

Associate Consultant of Oncology Department Dr Tracy Shum says, “Unlike before, we now have a consultation room in the centre. This one-stop service with consultation and chemotherapy at the same location is convenient for patients.” Besides, a larger centre can accommodate more patients and shorten the waiting time. A spacious layout also facilitates communication between patients and doctors.

 

Relatively stable patients receive treatment in Area A, C and E, where are equipped with comfortable chairs. There is plenty of space between patients.  It is more convenient for patients to undergo examinations in consultation rooms inside the centre.
Drawings and photos are displayed in the centre, and they all share the same theme – tree. A soft tone creates a homey atmosphere.  Drawings and photos are displayed in the centre, and they all share the same theme – tree. A soft tone creates a homey atmosphere.

“Our role is more than just providing nursing care. We accompany and support patients in the journey of fighting cancer. In the old centre which was smaller, privacy was an issue. We could not talk freely. With this large centre now, this problem no longer exists.”

“I have back pain. It is pleasant to lie down in a bed during the treatment. And the new centre is clean, tidy and comfortable.”
