The St George’s oncology treatment unit was officially opened by Stephen Barclay, MP for North East Cambridgeshire.
Gary Shepherd, Practice Manager at St George’s, said: “This community unit will potentially cover all patients within the Isle of Ely cluster of GP practices, wherever appropriate, and Addenbrooke’s anticipates that 600 – 800 treatment sessions will be provided each year. Referrals will be made by Addenbrooke’s for patients under its care.
"The Cheffins’ donation has allowed us to convert a former office into a clinically sound oncology unit. The donation has been made to the charity P.U.L.S.E. which provides a range of equipment to the medical centre."
Edwin Lee of Cheffins said: "Cheffins is very pleased to use its Community Charity Fund to support the local community in such a manner."
