Senior doctors and managers at the Royal Marsden Hospital will explain planned changes to the Sutton-based facility at a meeting on Tuesday.

The Royal Marsden is a world-leading cancer centre specialising in cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and education at bases in Sutton and Chelsea.

It has come up with a plan to help it deal with an increasing number of patients and will present them at a meeting chaired jointly by Sutton Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea at Kensington Town Hall from 7pm on November 26.

The Royal Marsden’s chief executive, Cally Palmer CBE, medical director Professor Martin Gore and chief nurse Dr Shelley Dolan are among the confirmed speakers.

Sutton Councillor Mary Burstow will jointly chair the meeting. She said: "This is your chance to quiz the Royal Marsden and find out more about the important services the hospital provides and what its plans for the future are."

Members of the public are invited to attend and booking is not required. Questions should be submitted to scrutiny@rbkc.gov.uk by Sunday, November 24.
