I am writing on behalf of the Beatson Oncology Centre to thank you for funding the new bathroom in Ward .... The staff are overwhelmed by the transformation and the support of Friends of the Beatson is very much appreciated

About the Centre

The Friends of the Beatson Centre, located on the fourth floor of the recently built Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre building, has been designed as a "retreat" for patients and a place of calm. It was constructed by and is run by Friends of the Beatson and is independent of the main hospital operation.

The new Beatson Centre opening day article with thanks to STV:

The imaginatively designed Centre provides a relaxing and therapeutic environment with complementary non-medical services designed to assist the wellbeing of Beatson patients. As such, it is a very special place.

The facilities include:

  • lounge with wonderful views over the West End of Glasgow
  • chill out spaces
  • library area
  • state of the art music facilities
  • top quality tea and coffee bar
  • therapy/massage rooms
  • specialist hairdressing and beautician facilities
  • purpose-built cinema
