Lion Ward is open 24 hours for all children receiving chemotherapy to provide all supportive care. Chemotherapy is administered mainly on a Tuesday morning in the weekly Oncology clinic. Low risk chemotherapy can be administered Monday to Friday on the ward or at home by the Clinical Nurse Specialists.
