The Chartwell Unit at PRUH – the questions KCH must now answer
In this week’s News Shopper, we highlight important new findings from Healthwatch Bromley on the future of cancer services at the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH), as proposals from King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust continue to evolve.
The report reinforces just how highly patients value the Chartwell Unit, with 92% rating their experience positively. Many describe it not only as a place of treatment, but as a caring and supportive community.
The article also highlights several important areas that patients and families feel require further clarity, including:
- Access to care close to home
- Travel and accessibility to Denmark Hill
- Support for patients requiring overnight care
- Ongoing pressures on staff and services
As plans progress, clear and practical detail will be essential to ensure patients understand how any changes may affect their care in reality.
