'It's an amazing place'

NHS Humber Health Partnership is expanding its triage service at the Queen's Centre Acute Assessment Unit (QCAAU), at Castle Hill Hospital, for patients experiencing acute problems relating to their oncology or haematology conditions. The service, currently helping patients in Hull and the East Riding, will now be expanded to help patients living south of the Humber, who will be given contact details once they begin treatment.
