The ANCHOR Centre has been planned for some time and has been developing on a staged basis. The Radiotherapy Centre on the Foresterhill Health Campus, completed in 2013, was the first stage of the development of this centre.
The ANCHOR Centre will allow new accommodation for Oncology and Haematology out-patient and day-patient services to be co-located, benefitting patients by providing enhanced clinical spaces in the same facility. There will also be a dedicated space for teenage and young adult patients, something that the North of Scotland is lacking at the moment.
The inclusion of the Pharmacy Suite in the centre will also reduce patient journeys to collect and receive treatments and medications.
