Northern Centre for Cancer Care
The Northern Centre for Cancer Care, North Cumbria provides a hub for detection of cancer and the delivery of treatment for patients across the region, improving access to care and improving patient outcomes.
The facility will be used by patients from all over north, west and east Cumbria. The centre is a partnership between North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust and the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The service is run by Newcastle Hospitals as part of the Northern Centre for Cancer Care.
The centre opened in August 2021.

Health Secretary opens the Northern Centre for Cancer Care
I am incredibly honoured to open this cancer hospital in Carlisle, which will support thousands of people by bringing these vital services under one roof, as part of our commitment to deliver 48 hospitals by 2030, backed by an initial £3.7 billion.
Cancer diagnosis and treatment is a top priority and I am committed to tackling the backlogs caused by this pandemic.
The NHS is here for everyone and I look forward to seeing how the hospital will help to diagnose and treat cancer patients across Cumbria by levelling up cancer care in the region.
