🌲A very special Christmas tree is shining brightly in Velindre's Radiotherapy waiting area this year

Thanks to the generous support of our friends at Pughs Garden Village Cardiff, guests of Velindre Cancer Centre Fundraising's Christmas Carol Concert were able to write personal messages of love, remembrance and hope, sealing them inside baubles and placing them on our beautiful tree.

To everyone who shared a message or hung a bauble, thank you for helping us create something truly meaningful this Christmas. Now, these heartfelt messages are bringing comfort and joy to patients, families and staff each day 💚

⚠️ Face masks now required

To help keep our patients and staff safe this winter, the wearing of face masks is now required across our sites.

This step is being taken because cases of winter viruses, including flu, coronavirus, norovirus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), are rising across south Wales. Even mild infections can cause harm.

Wearing a mask is a simple and effective way we can protect and support each other through the winter months.

Thank you for your support and understanding. 💚

Emma's background in both nursing and research, alongside her expert experience in oncology and haematology, made her the perfect candidate for this prestigious programme.

She noted that this achievement "really does highlight the important contribution that nurses can bring to research and how we can be a patients advocate within this space." 💚
