SalaryThe TYA Service at UCLH is the largest in the world, attracting an international reputation, with regular visits from experts from around the globe. We provide comprehensive tertiary care for patients from diagnosis, through to survivorship or palliative care. We provide all aspects of state-of-the-art cancer care and are a quaternary centre for specific treatments, including radio-isotope therapy and proton beam therapy. The clinical service is enhanced by exceptional clinical and translational research based within University College London and the Institute of Child Health. All patients aged 0-18 years with a diagnosis of cancer, within the North Thames TYA Cancer Network are referred into the UCLH/GOSH Principal Treatment Centre. Patients aged 19-24 years are offered the choice to be referred to UCLH or to be treated at local Designated Hospitals within the Operational Delivery Network (ODN). The newly opened Grafton Way Hospital houses the Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) Centre, one of only two sites in the UK. PBT offers innovative radiotherapy for certain cancer patients, with children making a significant proportion providing new models of care, synergistic clinical provision and research opportunities. These children require extensive supportive and POSCU-like care, offering opportunities for the development of new services linking acute paediatrics, CYPCS and radiotherapy.
