New wing and machines opened at Weston Park Hospitals in Sheffield
Last updated 14th Dec 2025
Over £7 million has been invested in two new state of the art machines at Weston Park Cancer Centre to give more people radiotherapy.
The development includes a purpose-built extension wing at Weston Park Cancer Centre to house two new Halcyon radiotherapy machines which enable faster, more precise radiotherapy treatments. The new wing also provides modern welcoming waiting area for patients and staff facilities.
The new machines were officially opened by Dr Trish Fisher, retired Clinical Oncologist and former Clinical Director for Specialised Cancer Services at the Trust.
Dr Trish Fisher said:
"I was thrilled to be invited to officially open this important new wing which houses two more state of the art radiotherapy machines which halve the treatment time for patients compared to previous machines that we used. This £7m development represents another step forward in Sheffield Teaching Hospital's commitment to providing the highest standard of cancer care to patients from across South Yorkshire and beyond using the latest technology."
