Description
The information centres provide a warm and friendly environment with bookable appointments. You are
able to contact the service without being referred by your surgeon or doctor. The service is
available whether they have a cancer diagnosis, need help and advice on behalf of a friend or
relative, or are worried about cancer. Health and social care professionals can also use the centre
as a resource for themselves or for information and support for their patients.
Our staff and trained volunteers are available to talk through issues and concerns. The centres hold
booklets, leaflets, DVDs and other sources of information on all issues related to cancer and
throughout any stage of the cancer journey. Additional information and signposting advice is
available on financial support, work and practical issues, emotional effects, relationships and
communication, support groups, travel, or if you are caring for someone with cancer. We provide this
information in a variety of languages.
As well as bookable appointments the Macmillan Information Centre, also offers Video Consultation to
help support patients. This is available for patients to 'drop in' between the hours of 9am and
3.30pm.
We offer a variety of support groups - please contact the service to find out more.
