Principal Treatment Centre (PTC)

The Principal Treatment Centre (PTC) provides services for all patients with a diagnosis of cancer in the East Midlands between the ages of 13 to 24 and works collaboratively across Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) and University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL).

Patients aged 19 to the end of their 24th year have the choice to be treated locally in one of the 5 designated hospitals across the region or in the age appropriate Teenage Cancer Trust units at Nottingham City hospital or Leicester Royal infirmary.

You will be able to access all of the social, educational, psychological and residential activities and support that are provided by the service. We use social networking and the website to advertise these activities and any other opportunities, such as free tickets for concerts and sporting events that are donated by various charitable sources.

Each designated hospital also has a selection of electronic entertainment which is solely for TYA patients aged 19 – 24 to use when onsite having treatment.

Should you choose to be treated in one of our Principal Treatment Centres, your local team will liaise with the relevant people at the Principal Treatment Centre to ensure a safe and speedy transfer, beds and outpatients appointments allowing.

A member of the Teenage and Young Adult Team will meet you on arrival. This is usually a member of the ward based nursing team on the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit, the Teenage and Young Adult Clinical Nurse Specialist or the Young Lives Vs Cancer Social Worker.
