Velindre Matters gives updates on our new Velindre Cancer Centre Cancer affects us all in some way and the number of people diagnosed is increasing.

We want to improve cancer services for the people of South East Wales. To meet this future challenge we must treat more patients and help more people live longer with cancer. We aim to give South East Wales world-class cancer facilities and services that are fit for future and help make Wales a world leader in cancer treatment. Mae canser yn effeithio ar bob un ohonom mewn rhyw ffordd ac mae nifer y bobl sy'n cael eu diagnosio yn cynyddu ac rydym am wella gwasanaethau canser i bobl de ddwyrain Cymru. Er mwyn cwrdd â'r her hon yn y dyfodol mae'n rhaid i ni drin mwy o gleifion a helpu mwy o bobl i fyw'n hirach gyda chanser. Ein nod yw rhoi cyfleusterau a gwasanaethau canser o'r radd flaenaf yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru sy'n addas ar gyfer y dyfodol a helpu i wneud Cymru yn arweinydd byd-eang ym maes triniaeth canser.

Ahead of the roadworks at Coryton being completed in the coming weeks, we wanted to share with you some images of the bridge that forms part of the main entrance to our new Velindre Cancer Centre.
These pictures, taken in 2023 when the bridge was completed, show the route into our new home, which is scheduled to open in spring 2027.
Designed with patients, families and staff at the heart since the beginning, the nVCC will offer a calmer, more welcoming environment that supports wellbeing alongside the world-class treatment Velindre is known for.
We’ll operate one of the largest radiotherapy units in the UK, with 10 cutting edge linear accelerators across the nVCC and the Nevill Hall Radiotherapy Unit.
We’ll keep you posted on the progress of the roadworks at Coryton, and if you have any questions get in touch with the team at contact.velindre@wales.nhs.uk or leave us a comment below.

Cyn i'r gwaith ffordd yng Nghoryton gael ei gwblhau yn ystod yr wythnosau nesaf, roedden ni eisiau rhannu rhywfaint o luniau o'r bont gyda chi sy'n ffurfio rhan o’r brif fynedfa i’n Canolfan Ganser Felindre newydd.
Mae'r lluniau hyn, a gafodd eu tynnu yn 2023 pan gwblhawyd y bont, yn dangos y llwybr i'n cartref newydd, sydd i fod i agor yn nhymor y gwanwyn 2027.
Bydd y ganolfan newydd, sydd wedi'i dylunio gyda chleifion, teuluoedd a staff wrth ei gwraidd ers y dechrau, yn cynnig amgylchedd tawelach a mwy croesawgar, sy'n cefnogi lles ochr yn ochr â'r driniaeth o'r radd flaenaf y mae Felindre yn adnabyddus amdani.
Byddwn yn gweithredu un o'r unedau radiotherapi mwyaf yn y DU, gyda 10 o gyflymyddion llinellol arloesol ar draws y CGFn ac Uned Radiotherapi Nevill Hall.
Byddwn yn rhoi’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i chi am y cynnydd sydd yn cael ei wneud mewn perthynas â’r gwaith yng Nghoryton, ac os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiynau, cysylltwch â’r tîm drwy e-bostio contact.velindre@wales.nhs.uk, neu gadewch sylw isod.

Our new Velindre Cancer Centre is designed not just for more patients, but for better outcomes, more innovation, and a stronger, more connected cancer system across Wales.
It’s part of a wider transformation of cancer care across the Trust, including the brand-new Velindre @ Nevill Hall Chemotherapy Unit.
The nVCC, alongside units across south Wales, will help more patients receive the right care at the right time and closer to home where possible.
The nVCC reflects our ambition not just to meet growing demand, but to shape the future of cancer care - working in partnership with partner health boards to integrate services and transform clinical pathways. We will operate one of the largest radiotherapy units in the UK, with 10 state-of-the-art linear accelerators (eight in nVCC and two in the Velindre @ Nevill Hall Radiotherapy Unit).

We wanted to let you know about some more upcoming changes to the roadworks at Coryton.
As part of our planning permission, we’re required to improve part of the road layout on Longwood Drive, adjacent to the Coryton interchange, to create better access to our new cancer centre, scheduled to open Spring 2027.
Night work is scheduled for February 19 and February 20 from 8pm to 5am.
There will be single-lane traffic, and four-way temporary traffic lights will be in place to safely manage traffic.
Additionally, between 12.00am and 5am on February 22, the Longwood Drive roundabout will be fully closed.
Further road closures, the same as on February 22, will also take place on March 1 and March 2 from 12.00am to 5am.
These closures are outside of business opening times, and the area will be manned to allow access to delivery and emergency vehicles. This will be the conclusion of the roadworks on Longwood Drive roundabout.
We appreciate your patience, and the team is working to keep disruption to a minimum.
If you have any questions or require further assistance, Knights Brown asks that you please contact talktous@knightsbrown.co.uk / 07818 432183

Roedden ni eisiau rhoi gwybod i chi am fwy o newidiadau sydd yn cael eu gwneud i'r gwaith ffordd yn Coryton.
Fel rhan o'n caniatâd cynllunio, mae'n rhaid i Felindre wella rhan o’r cynllun ffordd ar Longwood Drive, wrth ymyl cyfnewidfa Coryton, i sicrhau gwell mynediad i'r ganolfan ganser newydd, sydd i fod i agor yn Nhymor y Gwanwyn 2027.
Mae gwaith nos wedi cael ei gynllunio ar gyfer Chwefror 19 a Chwefror 20, o 8pm tan 5am.
Dim ond un lôn o draffig fydd yno, a bydd goleuadau traffig pedair ffordd dros dro yn eu lle i reoli traffig yn ddiogel
Bydd cylchfan Longwood Drive ar gau'n llwyr rhwng 12.00am a 5am ar 22 Chwefror.
Bydd mwy o ffyrdd yn cau, fel ag ar Chwefror 22, ar 1 Mawrth a 2 Mawrth o 12.00am tan 5am.
Bydd hyn yn digwydd y tu allan i oriau agor busnes, a bydd staff yn yr ardal i ganiatáu mynediad i gerbydau dosbarthu a cherbydau brys. Ar ôl hyn, bydd y gwaith ffordd ar gylchfan Longwood Drive yn dod i ben.
Nod Knights Brown, ein contractwr sy'n gwneud y gwaith, yw ceisio creu cyn lleied o aflonyddwch â phosib, a rheoli mynediad lle bo modd.
Os oes gennych chi unrhyw gwestiynau neu os ydych chi angen mwy o gymorth, mae Knights Brown yn gofyn i chi gysylltu â talktous@knightsbrown.co.uk / 07818 432183

We wanted to update you on some upcoming roadworks that are part of our new Velindre Cancer Centre development.
As part of our planning permission, Velindre is required to improve part of the road layout on Longwood Drive, adjacent to the Coryton interchange, to ensure better access to our new cancer centre - scheduled to open Spring 2027.
We will soon be switching from Phase 5 to Phase 6, which will be taking place overnight on February 15. Traffic lanes will be repositioned to allow us access to new working areas. Please take extra care when travelling through the area for the first time after the layout change.

Today is World Cancer Day - a day to reflect and look ahead 💚
At Velindre, we’re doing more than responding to today’s needs. We’re building for the future with our new Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC). Our new home represents the biggest opportunity to transform cancer care for people across Wales, now and for decades to come.
Designed with patients, families and staff at the heart since the beginning, the nVCC will offer a calmer, more welcoming environment that supports wellbeing alongside the world-class treatment Velindre is known for.
We’ll operate one of the largest radiotherapy units in the UK, with 10 cutting edge linear accelerators across the nVCC and the Nevill Hall Radiotherapy Unit.
Purpose-built spaces will improve privacy, dignity and comfort, while modern layouts will make it easier for patients to move through their care.
Nearly twice the size of the current Velindre Cancer Centre, the nVCC has been designed to support more complex patient needs and enable advanced treatments to be delivered safely and effectively.
From design to operation, the nVCC leads the way in sustainable healthcare. It is the first all-electric hospital in the UK, uses renewable energy and has been designed to minimise environmental impact as much as possible.
When our new home opens in spring 2027, it will help more patients receive the right care at the right time and closer to home where possible. We’ll have improved access to clinical trials and expanded clinical capacity to support our patients to live longer, better-quality lives.

Heddiw yw Diwrnod Canser y Byd - diwrnod i fyfyrio ac edrych ymlaen 💚
Yn Felindre, rydym yn gwneud mwy na dim ond ymateb i anghenion heddiw. Rydym yn adeiladu ar gyfer y dyfodol gyda'n Canolfan Ganser Felindre newydd (CGFn). Mae ein cartref newydd yn cynrychioli'r cyfle mwyaf i drawsnewid gofal canser i bobl ledled Cymru, nawr ac am ddegawdau i ddod.
Wedi'i gynllunio gyda chleifion, teuluoedd a staff wrth wraidd ers y dechrau, bydd y CGFn yn cynnig amgylchedd tawelach a mwy croesawgar sy'n cefnogi lles ochr yn ochr â'r driniaeth o'r radd flaenaf y mae Felindre yn adnabyddus amdani.
Byddwn yn gweithredu un o'r unedau radiotherapi mwyaf yn y DU, gyda 10 o gyflymyddion llinellol blaengar ar draws y CGFn ac Uned Radiotherapi Nevill Hall.
Bydd mannau pwrpasol yn gwella preifatrwydd, urddas a chysur, tra bydd cynlluniau modern yn ei gwneud hi'n haws i gleifion symud trwy eu gofal.
Bron ddwywaith maint y Ganolfan Ganser Felindre bresennol, mae'r CGFn wedi'i gynllunio i gefnogi anghenion cleifion mwy cymhleth a galluogi triniaethau uwch i gael eu darparu'n ddiogel ac yn effeithiol.
Mae'r CGFn wedi bod ar flaen y gad ym maes gofal iechyd cynaliadwy o'r cychwyn cyntaf, a bydd hyn yn parhau tan y bydd y ganolfan yn agor ac yn weithredol. Dyma'r ysbyty trydan cyntaf yn y DU, mae'n defnyddio ynni adnewyddadwy ac wedi'i gynllunio i leihau'r effaith amgylcheddol gymaint â phosibl.
Pan fydd ein cartref newydd yn agor yng ngwanwyn 2027, bydd yn helpu mwy o gleifion i dderbyn y gofal cywir ar yr amser cywir, ac yn agosach at adref lle bo’n bosib. Bydd gennym fynediad gwell at dreialon clinigol a chapasiti clinigol ehangach i gefnogi ein cleifion i fyw bywydau hirach o ansawdd gwell.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Crafternoon.
We came together for an afternoon of crafting and conversation to make handmade items and create a collage that’ll be displayed in the current cancer centre on World Cancer Day, February 4.
We also made green crochet hearts, which will be shared as symbols of awareness and support on World Cancer Day at the cancer centre.
The event brought together Velindre staff, members of the Sacyr team, Ray of Light Wales Cancer Support and local residents, giving people a chance to meet, participate, and learn more about our new Velindre Cancer Centre project.
Our nVCC will deliver better outcomes through world-class cancer treatment, enhanced diagnostic capability and greater access to innovation, training and research. The nVCC opens in spring 2027 and reflects our ambition not just to meet growing demand, but to shape the future of cancer care.

Diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb a fynychodd ein Prynhawn o Grefft.
Daethom at ein gilydd am brynhawn o grefftio a sgwrsio i wneud eitemau wedi'u gwneud â llaw a chreu collage a fydd yn cael ei arddangos yn y ganolfan ganser bresennol ar Ddiwrnod Canser y Byd, 4 Chwefror.
Gwnaethom galonnau crosio gwyrdd hefyd, a fydd yn cael eu rhannu fel symbolau o ymwybyddiaeth a chefnogaeth ar Ddiwrnod Canser y Byd yn y ganolfan ganser.
Daeth y digwyddiad â staff Felindre, aelodau o dîm Sacyr, Ray of Light a thrigolion lleol ynghyd, gan roi cyfle i bobl gyfarfod, cymryd rhan a dysgu mwy am ein prosiect Canolfan Ganser Felindre newydd (CGFn).
Bydd ein CGFn yn darparu canlyniadau gwell gyda thriniaeth ganser o'r radd flaenaf, gallu diagnostig gwell, a gwell mynediad at arloesedd, hyfforddiant ac ymchwil. Mae'r ganolfan newydd yn agor yng ngwanwyn 2027 ac yn adlewyrchu ein huchelgais nid yn unig i ateb y galw cynyddol, ond i lunio dyfodol gofal canser.
