Windsor

Easy access to treatments and services

 
Accessing the treatments you need couldn’t be easier.

There’s no waiting list. Your treatment can usually start within 5 days from referral. We also offer same day diagnostic appointments.

We’re recognised by all the major private medical insurers and we also offer a range of self-pay options. We can help with the paperwork too.

At Windsor we offer:

We’re always pushing the boundaries investing in the most advanced technology to develop better targeted radiotherapy treatments to provide:

• Surface Guided Radiotherapy (SGRT) enabling:
o Tattoo free treatments
o Faceless shells for patients with brain and head and neck cancers – this provides a less claustrophobic experience
o Quick daily treatment set-up reducing the time you spend in the centre each day

• Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), daily imaging to accurately target the treatment site
• Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) – this technique reduces movement in the area treated. For patients with left sided breast cancer it reduces the risk of damage to the heart. It is also used for patients with cancers of the chest and abdomen.
• Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) delivers fewer but larger doses of radiotherapy to treat certain cancers. This can significantly reduce your treatment period.

• Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) We offer VMAT to all patients. This includes patients needing palliative treatment who we normally treat within 2 days.
• Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI) is suitable for low-risk patients and has significantly fewer side effects offering better cosmetic outcomes without compromising long-term clinical outcomes.
• SpaceOAR Hydrogel – this implant can improve the short and long-term side-effects of prostate radiotherapy treatment. And is available to all men who would benefit at no additional cost.

Our centre is the first location outside of London to offer Theranostics – a personalised approach to cancer treatment. It combines therapy and diagnostics to target cancer cells and is particularly effective for cancers that are difficult to treat.

We provide a full complement of chemotherapy regimes for oncology and haematology, and targeted therapies such as supportive infusions.

Treatment is provided across a suite of dedicated personal rooms with television, internet access, drinks facilities and lunch if required. And there’s a comfortable lounge for your friends and relatives.

Our telephone advice line is available 24-hours, 7 days a week for our chemotherapy patients and their relatives, assessing issues, offering appropriate advice and liaising with your consultant if necessary.

Exercise can support your health before, during and after cancer treatment, which is why we offer specialised exercise medicine at our Windsor centre as part of your treatment plan.

We believe that its important to not just treat your cancer but to treat you. We work with Penny Brohn UK, to provide complementary therapies as part of your treatment at no additional cost to you or your insurance company. These include counselling and holistic treatments such as, reflexology and relaxation as well as mindfulness meditation for our patients and their families.
