The Children’s and Adolescent Cancer Unit in Leeds is one of the largest in the country  In 2010, the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust centralised all children’s services, with the exception of radiotherapy, at Leeds General Infirmary (LGI). Our new in-patients facilities boasts eight beds for teenagers, 16 beds for children and a four-bedded bone marrow transplant unit.  Thanks to overwhelming public support for our Big Move Appeal,  the facilities in the new Unit are amongst the best in the country.

To make the most of the space available the single rooms have fitted furniture and comfortable drop down beds for parents, whilst the bays have big squashy armchairs that can be extended at night to provide a comfortable beds for parents.  TV and internet access is available both on the wards and outpatient's clinic so teh children can keep up with their schoolwork and stay in touch with friends and family. 

 In 2011 we're going to be developing a Candlelighter's garden area with a large purpose-built conservatory that can be used all year round as an additional play room and space to unwind.
