Rotary Cut Out Cancer Campaign

Thu, Apr 25th 2024 at 11:26 am -

Rotary and the Royal Surrey Charity are joining together to transform surgical and cancer care in Surrey, Sussex and beyond.


The Royal Surrey County Hospital is the regional cancer centre for Surrey, Sussex and beyond covering around 3 million people. It is the fourth largest cancer centre in the UK with an excellent national and international reputation. It has world-leading expertise across all of the major specialities and a long-term history of innovation and improvement. 

NHS England has agreed the £41million investment for the expansion of the operating theatres, excluding the costs of the high-tech equipment. The improved facilities will allow for 7,000 more operations annually (an increase of 35%) and result in further improvements to patient outcomes, better knowledge-sharing and improved surgical techniques. 

Rotary clubs across Surrey and Sussex are partnering with Royal Surrey Charity - the Rotary Cut Out Cancer campaign - to fund the purchase of the high-tech equipment including a surgical robot and specialist surgical tables which move with the robots. This will allow more accurate and complex surgeries to take place, meaning faster recovery times and improved patient experience.  

Even though the campaign has been designated a District project within Rotary, we are calling on all clubs, societies, businesses and their local communities to back the campaign, and will help transform cancer care in Surrey, Sussex and beyond.
