The Cancer Therapy Team at Salisbury District Hospital offer ‘prehabilitation’ which is the work done to build up your physical and mental health, before your cancer treatment starts. This aims to put you in the best place possible to manage the treatment to come. For more information on the Cancer Therapy Team visit: Cancer Therapy Team

Each person diagnosed with cancer may have slightly different treatments. It depends if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Every patient being treated for cancer will have an individual treatment plan.
Treatments and/or operations will be suggested according to the type of cancer, where the cancer is and the needs of the patient. Every person’s care and treatment will be discussed at an MDT (Multi-Disciplinary Team) meeting.
Our staff at Salisbury District Hospital have long been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment they provide for our patients and for their innovation, commitment and professionalism. This has been recognised in a wide range of achievements and it is reflected in our award of NHS Foundation Trust status. This is afforded to hospitals that provide the highest standards of care.
