New cancer ward at Guy’s

A NEW state of the art ward for adult cancer patients has opened at Guy’s Hospital. It was designed with input from patients and staff.

Olive ward has 14 beds in total, in three-bed and single ensuite rooms, including an isolation room for radiotherapy patients. The arts scheme was designed with artist Sophie Smallhorn and includes artwork from Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation’s collection.

Olive ward is part of a project to deliver four new cancer wards at Guy’s Hospital. This will include a dedicated ward for teenage and young adult patients. The project is part funded by Guy’s Cancer Charity and will be fully completed later this year.
