The presentation outlined how the new Velindre Cancer Centre marks a shift in the design and delivery of healthcare facilities. 👏🏗️

Members of the new Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) team highlighted how the project is delivering one of the UK’s most sustainable cancer centres at a prestigious conference.

Two of the team highlighted the project at the European Healthcare Design conference held in London on June 15/16.

The session, “Building the UK’s greenest cancer centre: A holistic, collaborative home for future-focused healthcare”, looked at how our new home combines a modern building that delivers world-class clinical care alongside long-term flexibility, leading environmental credentials and a space that promotes the wellbeing of staff and patients.

The presentation also outlined how the nVCC marks a shift in the design and delivery of healthcare facilities and discussed the partnership between Velindre, Sacyr, and the Acorn consortium.

Tynnodd aelodau o dîm y Ganolfan Ganser Felindre newydd (CGFn) sylw at sut mae'r prosiect yn darparu un o ganolfannau canser mwyaf cynaliadwy'r DU mewn cynhadledd fawreddog.

Tynnodd dau o'r tîm sylw at y prosiect yng nghynhadledd Dylunio Gofal Iechyd Ewrop a gynhaliwyd yn Llundain ar Fehefin 15/16.

Fe wnaeth y sesiwn, “Building the UK’s greenest cancer centre: A holistic, collaborative home for future-focused healthcare”, edrych ar sut mae ein cartref newydd yn cyfuno adeilad modern sy’n darparu gofal clinigol o’r radd flaenaf ochr yn ochr â hyblygrwydd hirdymor, cymwysterau amgylcheddol blaenllaw, a gofod sy’n hyrwyddo lles staff a chleifion.

Amlinellodd y cyflwyniad hefyd sut mae'r CGFn yn nodi newid yn nyluniad a darpariaeth cyfleusterau gofal iechyd, a thrafododd y bartneriaeth rhwng Felindre, Sacyr, a chonsortiwm Acorn.

As part of Great Big Green Week, we wanted to share with you some of the ways our new Velindre Cancer Centre will be one of the greenest hospitals in the UK 💚

Our new home is a benchmark for sustainable healthcare - low carbon, all-electric, and built to support a greener, healthier future for Wales.

It is the first all-electric hospital in the UK, uses renewable energy and has been designed to minimise environmental impact as much as possible while delivering the world-class cancer care Velindre is known for.

Sustainability, embodied carbon, operational carbon and patient and staff health and wellbeing have been at the centre of our design decision process since day one.

🌿 The nVCC will support and enhance the ecological diversity and natural environment of the site
⚡ All-electric power and heating to help reduce our carbon footprint
🌸 Therapeutic and sensory gardens for patient and staff wellbeing
🥕 Restaurant and kitchen gardens to provide fresh ingredients
🪵 Natural materials used throughout to better blend with the environment
🦊 Biodiversity enhancement to support local wildlife
🌳 Thoughtfully designed landscaping for accessible green space
🦇 Onsite habitat creation for birds, bats, and reptiles
🌉 Ecological corridors to connect habitats
💧 Sustainable urban drainage systems to manage rainwater efficiently
🏡 Minimise energy demand using a passive design approach
♻️ Using non-toxic materials to reduce embodied carbon and waste
🚶‍♀️ A green transport plan to encourage active travel and help reduce car use
🌙 Night-time light pollution minimised by the appropriate lighting
🌬️ Air quality monitored inside the building when in use

A key commitment throughout this project has been to keep the majority of the site green. Our design brief, developed as part of our public tender process in spring 2021, specified that 60% of the site would remain landscaped, leaving only a 40% built footprint. This 40% includes the cancer centre itself, with its green roofs, access roads, the car park, and the Maggie’s Centre.

Come along to our monthly resident drop-in on the last Wednesday of every month from 6pm to 7pm at the Noddfa building on the current Velindre site to meet the team and ask questions.

Fel rhan o’r Wythnos Fawr Werdd, roedden ni eisiau rhannu rhai o'r ffyrdd y bydd ein Canolfan Ganser Felindre newydd yn un o'r ysbytai mwyaf gwyrdd yn y DU gyda chi 💚

Mae’r Ganolfan Ganser Felindre newydd yn feincnod ar gyfer gofal iechyd cynaliadwy - carbon isel, yn defnyddio trydan yn unig, ac wedi'i hadeiladu i gefnogi dyfodol gwyrddach ac iachach i Gymru.

Hon ydy'r ysbyty drydan gyntaf yn y DU, mae hi'n defnyddio ynni adnewyddadwy, ac mae hi wedi'i dylunio i leihau'r effaith ar yr amgylchedd gymaint â phosib ac ar yr un pryd, darparu'r gofal canser o'r radd flaenaf y mae Felindre yn adnabyddus amdano.

Mae cynaliadwyedd, carbon ymgorfforedig, carbon gweithredol ac iechyd a lles cleifion a staff wedi bod wrth wraidd ein proses o benderfynu sut i ddylunio’r ganolfan ers y diwrnod cyntaf.

🌿 Bydd y Canolfan Ganser Felindre newydd yn cefnogi ac yn gwella amrywiaeth ecolegol ac amgylchedd naturiol y safle.
⚡ Pŵer a gwresogi trydan i helpu i leihau ein hôl troed carbon
🌸 Gerddi therapiwtig a synhwyraidd ar gyfer llesiant cleifion a staff
🥕 Gerddi bwyty a chegin i ddarparu cynhwysion ffres
🪵 Defnyddiau naturiol yn cael eu defnyddio drwyddi draw i gydweddu'n well â'r amgylchedd
🦊 Gwella bioamrywiaeth i gefnogi bywyd gwyllt lleol
🌳 Tirlunio wedi'i ddylunio'n ofalus ar gyfer mannau gwyrdd hygyrch
🦇 Creu cynefinoedd ar y safle ar gyfer adar, ystlumod ac ymlusgiaid
🌉 Coridorau ecolegol i gysylltu cynefinoedd
💧 Systemau draenio trefol cynaliadwy i reoli dŵr glaw yn effeithlon
🏡 Lleihau'r galw am ynni gan ddefnyddio dull dylunio goddefol
♻️ Defnyddio deunyddiau diwenwyn i leihau carbon ymgorfforedig a gwastraff
🚶 Cael cynllun trafnidiaeth gwyrdd i annog teithio llesol a helpu i leihau'r defnydd o geir
🌙 Llygredd golau yn ystod y nos wedi'i leihau gan y goleuadau priodol
🌬️ Ansawdd yr aer yn cael ei fonitro y tu mewn i'r adeilad pan mae’n cael ei ddefnyddio

Ymrwymiad allweddol drwy gydol y prosiect hwn fu cadw'r rhan fwyaf o'r safle'n wyrdd. Nododd ein briff dylunio, a ddatblygwyd fel rhan o’n proses dendro cyhoeddus yn nhymor y gwanwyn 2021, y byddai 60% o’r safle’n parhau i fod wedi’i dirlunio, gan adael ôl troed adeiledig o 40% yn unig. Mae'r 40% hwn yn cynnwys y ganolfan ganser ei hun, gyda'i thoeau gwyrdd, ffyrdd mynediad, y maes parcio a Chanolfan Maggie's.

Ydych chi eisiau mwy o wybodaeth?
Cysylltwch â’r tîm drwy e-bostio [email protected].

Galwch draw i'n sesiwn galw heibio i breswylwyr ar ddydd Mercher olaf pob mis rhwng 6pm a 7pm yn yr adeilad Noddfa ar safle presennol Felindre, i gwrdd â'r tîm a gofyn cwestiynau.
