The Velindre University NHS Trust was established in 1994 as a specialist provider of cancer services in Wales. It runs the Velindre Cancer Centre and the Welsh Blood Service. It also incorporates, on a hosted basis, two other NHS Wales organisations- the NHS Wales Informatics Service (NWIS) and the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP). The headquarters are located at Charnwood Court, Parc Nantgarw, Cardiff. The Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff provides radiotherapy treatment. It provides stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment and a stereotactic radiosurgery service.[1] A new Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator which delivers stereotactic radiosurgery was funded by a £4.6M Welsh Government investment in 2015.[2] When inspected in 2014 the Cancer Centre was generally praised.[3] A clinical trials unit was set up in 1994 with 3 members of staff which has now expanded to a staff of 34. More than 9,700 patients have been recruited to take part in a variety of clinical trials.[4] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Velindre Cancer Centre gets £4.6m for radiotherapy treatment|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-21733652|accessdate=20 October 2014|publisher=BBC News|date=11 March 2013}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=This £4.6m 'cutting-edge' radiotherapy machine will save Welsh patients a three-day trip to the north of England|url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/46m-cutting-edge-radiotherapy-machine-save-9509343|accessdate=23 June 2015|publisher=Wales Online|date=23 June 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Medicine criticism follows spot checks|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-29634870|accessdate=20 October 2014|publisher=BBC News|date=16 October 2014}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Velindre Cancer Centre's clinical trials unit started with three people 20 years ago... but it is thriving on its landmark anniversary|url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/started-just-three-people-20-8179869|accessdate=22 March 2015|publisher=Wales on line|date=27 November 2014}} External links
