Velindre Matters

For nearly 70 years, the Velindre Cancer Centre has offered vital specialist cancer treatment and support to people across south Wales. We are proud of our history, but we are constantly evolving to meet the growing demands for cancer services. Now more than ever, we need to adapt to make sure we continue to provide the world-class care Velindre is known for. Our dedicated staff treat and care for

thousands of patients from across south Wales every single year but the current cancer centre does not have the facilities or space necessary to meet the future needs of our patients and staff. Construction of our new Velindre Cancer Centre is underway, and it's one of the biggest projects Wales has seen in decades. Our nVCC will deliver better outcomes through world-class cancer treatment, enhanced diagnostic capability and greater access to innovation, training and research. Every aspect of the nVCC has been shaped around the needs of patients, staff, families, and carers. From easier navigation and better parking to therapeutic spaces and dedicated family areas, the new building will enhance comfort, dignity and the overall experience of care. It will be one of the most sustainable hospitals in the UK, providing leading cancer care for our patients and a better environment for our dedicated staff. The nVCC is designed to grow and adapt. With standardised, flexible clinical spaces, modern infrastructure, and greener energy use, the nVCC will meet the changing needs of cancer care and deliver long-term value for our patients, staff and the NHS. From design to operation, the nVCC leads the way in sustainable healthcare. It is the first all-electric hospital in the UK, uses renewable energy and has been designed to minimise environmental impact as much as possible while delivering the world-class cancer care Velindre is known for. Its sustainable features support Wales’s broader ambition to be net zero and resilient for future generations. Our dedicated staff are working together with Acorn, the consortium chosen to construct the new cancer centre, to build a facility that will serve future generations for decades to come. Sacyr UK, is the construction company building the cancer centre. Our new home is critical in safeguarding the provision of crucial treatment and care for the 1.5 million people of south Wales and is critical to keep pace with the increasing demand. More than just a new building, we're transforming our care across the system. Alongside our new Velindre Cancer Centre we've also opened the Velindre @ Nevill Hall Radiotherapy Unit. Construction of the new Velindre Cancer Centre is underway and we are scheduled to open in Spring 2027.

We wanted to let you know about an extension of working hours for specific activities on our new Velindre Cancer Centre construction.

Approval has been granted for an extension to working hours for specific tasks only.

The approved extended working hours are:

◾ Monday to Friday from 6pm to 8pm
◾ Saturday from 1pm to 4pm

This current approval is in place until August 31 2026.

The approved activities are limited to internal mechanical and electrical works and associated internal fit-out works. These extended hours apply only to those specific internal activities, helping to support the safe and efficient delivery of our new cancer centre scheduled to open spring 2027.

Unlike the current Section 61 consent, work to lift the facade will no longer take place after 6pm.
We appreciate the continued patience and understanding while these essential works are completed.

Roeddem eisiau rhoi gwybod i chi y bydd yr oriau gwaith yn cael eu hymestyn ar gyfer gweithgareddau penodol ar safle adeiladu’r Ganolfan Ganser Felindre newydd.

Mae cymeradwyaeth wedi cael ei rhoi o dan Adran 61, i ganiatáu i'r oriau gwaith gael eu hymestyn ar gyfer tasgau penodol yn unig.

Yr oriau gwaith estynedig sydd wedi cael eu cymeradwyo yw:

◾ Dydd Llun i ddydd Gwener o 6pm tan 8pm
◾ Dydd Sadwrn o 1pm tan 4pm

Mae'r gymeradwyaeth bresennol mewn grym tan Awst, 31 Gorffennaf 2026.

Mae'r gwaith sydd wedi cael ei gymeradwyo wedi'i gyfyngu i osodiadau mecanyddol a thrydanol mewnol, ynghyd â'r gwaith gosod mewnol cysylltiedig. Mae'r oriau gwaith estynedig hyn yn berthnasol i'r gweithgareddau mewnol penodol hyn yn unig, a byddant yn helpu i sicrhau bod ein canolfan ganser newydd yn cael ei chwblhau'n ddiogel ac yn effeithlon, gyda'r bwriad o agor yn nhymor y gwanwyn 2027.

Yn wahanol i'r caniatâd presennol o dan Adran 61, ni fydd y gwaith o godi'r ffasâd yn cael ei wneud ar ôl 6pm.

Rydym yn gwerthfawrogi'r amynedd a'r ddealltwriaeth barhaus tra bod y gwaith hanfodol hwn yn cael ei gwblhau.

Eisiau rhagor o wybodaeth?

💬 Ymunwch â'n sesiwn galw heibio i breswylwyr sydd yn cael ei gynnal ar ddydd Mercher olaf pob mis, o 6pm i 7pm, yn adeilad Noddfa ar safle presennol Felindre
