Our Oncology Unit is located at Brampton Civic Hospital and has 23 dedicated beds. In addition to inpatient management of complications of malignancy or treatment, we provide inpatient chemotherapy and manage patients post autologous stem cell transplantation in which standardized protocols have been created. Our Oncology Unit is supported by a full-time nurse practitioner that has expertise in managing complex patients with solid tumours and hematologic malignancies. Additional supports include palliative care, allied health and access to radiation oncology. Back up subspecialist support from medical oncology will be available when needed. Remuneration is supported a stipend, in addition to fee-for-service as set by the OHIP Schedule of Benefits and Fees.
