Impression Suite (1998)
Opened by Mr Jimmy Hill
Expenditure £100,000.00
The Impression Suite and Mould Room is responsible for the immobilisation of patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment and for providing a highly specialised clinical technical service to the Cancer Centre.
Our primary duty is the manufacture of immobilisation masks for patients with head and neck or brain tumours. For these patients two visits to the mould room are required and we are often the first point of contact for them and their families.
We are also responsible for the manufacture of wax bolus, lead alloy electron cut-outs, lead shielding blocks, lead masks, mouth bites and any other item that may be required for the immobilisation of a patient to aid in the effectiveness of their radiotherapy treatment. For most of these items the patient requires at least one visit to the mould room although we are also often required to see the patient whilst on treatment.
On top of this we do all our own administration and bookings and maintain a thorough QA system of all our equipment throughout the Cancer Centre.
