We have a unique multi-site care model consisting of three main sites, four systemic therapy sites and 15 outpatient centres. Our clinical model also includes the provision of chemotherapy in the home and workplace. Although the new Central Liverpool hospital is our main base, we also provide outpatient services at our site on the Wirral peninsula (South) and at our site on the Aintree Hospital campus (North West Liverpool).

A staffing model of 1,650 employees support delivery of >71,000-day case Systemic Anti-Cancer Treatments (SACT) and over 150,000 outpatient clinic appointments. Radiotherapy is delivered in three sites, CCC-Liverpool, CCC-Wirral, and CCC-Aintree with a modern equipment portfolio across the sites.
