🎉Our VAP Service has been recognised as UK best practice!

We're proud to share that Velindre's Virtually Assessed Pathway (VAP) Service has been highlighted as an exemplar in the UK SACT Board's standardising reviews of adult patients receiving SACT.

One of only four services nationwide selected as an example of best practice, the Pre-SACT Assessment Checklist developed by the VAP team was also cited as the model checklist for use across the UK ✅

With an amber weather warning for snow in place for much of Wales tonight and over the coming days, we want to reassure patients that our services will continue to operate as normal.

Your safety is our priority. Please only travel to your appointment if it is safe for you to do so. If you are unable to travel safely, please contact your care team to discuss.
