In Bristol we have a purpose-built TYA inpatient and day care facility known as Area 61; accommodation and an environment appropriate for young people's needs.
Area 61 opened in March 2014, funded by Teenage Cancer Trust charity.
Many TYA patients contributed to the design of the unit and this is reflected in it being a warm and welcoming, safe place for your care. It aims to provide comfort, stimulation and control during hospital stays, with a range of ways in which you can stay connected to family and friends.
Area 61 allows young people to be with other patients close to their own age, who are receiving treatment for all types of cancer and leukaemia. The unit is made up of an inpatient ward, an outpatient day care ward, clinic rooms and social spaces. Watch the video tour below to find out more about our unit.
Area 61 is located on levels 5 and 6 of the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC), part of University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust. It is close to the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, Bristol Royal Infirmary and the Bristol Heart Institute.
