THE NHS TRUST: 

The Trust was established in 1956 and is in Wales. It is a highly respected specialist treatment, teaching, research and development centre for non-surgical tertiary and secondary oncology services. Primarily caring for patients across south-east Wales, VCC also treats patients requiring highly specialised care from all regions of Wales. 

The Trust is proud of its reputation for providing a first-class patient experience where the patient is at the centre of everything. The Trust has created an environment of compassion and care, where staff go the ‘extra mile’ to meet the needs of patients, families, and carers. The first Cancer Patient Experience Survey produced by the Welsh Government and Macmillan Cancer Support highlighted the Trust as the ‘best in Wales’.

The Trust is responsible for all NHS SACT services for adults with solid tumours in Southeast Wales. The majority (60%) of day-case services are delivered at the Trust while there is a long-established network of outreach sites in LHB acute and community hospitals and based with 3rd-sector providers.

LIFE IN WALES: 

South Wales has a lot to offer and has recently beaten off the likes of Manchester to be awarded the city with the “Best Quality of Life”. The city is easily accessible via the M4 motorway, which runs through the north of the city, making London a comfortable 2.5 hour drive away. It has rail links to the rest of the UK and has its own international Airport.  

For such a small area, only around 75km (46.5 miles) east to west and around 50 km (30 miles) from North to South, South Wales certainly fits a lot in - spectacular countryside, a National Park and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a beautiful coastline. 
 
The people of Wales are immensely proud of their rich history and culture, which can be seen throughout their many castles and museums, and their ancient language which you can try out for yourself.  Above all else, Welsh people are proud of their friendliness (and singing ability!). 

Cardiff has been assessed as one of the top cities in the UK and compares very favorably with many larger cities for house price growth, the cost of renting, average salaries and quality of life. 

There is a wide choice of schooling in Cardiff including English- and Welsh-medium schools at all levels.  Cardiff University, Cardiff Metropolitan University and University of South Wales offer a wide variety of highly rated courses and ensure that Cardiff is a thriving city for young people.

LIFE IN SOUTH-EAST ENGLAND:

The South-East of England is a great place for you and your family to call home. It might be called ‘the Garden of England’, but there’s a lot more to it than that.  

With excellent transport links into the City, the South-East offers many of the benefits of living in London, without a lot of the drawbacks - plus, of course, the additional benefits of living in the countryside. 

Depending on location, you can be over 100km away from London, but still get right to the centre in under 40 minutes. This makes it perfect for families, where busy city workers can quickly and conveniently commute to work in the bustling city, whilst bringing the children up in the more sedate, family-friendly surroundings of the countryside. 

Tucked away in the corner of the UK, the South-East is well-known for its picturesque countryside and stunning coastlines. 

A great selection of schools is a key draw to the Home Counties for many families, and the South-East is no exception. The area boasts some of the best schools in the country, both private and state, including Tonbridge School, Benenden School, and Invicta Grammar School.
