Taking the 'institution' out of hospital care. Inpatient accommodation for oncology patients.
1. Inpatient accommodation was provided for oncology patients receiving radiotherapy treatment to give them more freedom and independence. 2. A holistic approach was adopted whereby the effects of cancer on the individual were evaluated and catered for. 3. The philosophy at Raeburn House aims to promote independence of each individual throughout the treatment process in preparation for their discharge.
