Macmillan Cancer Advice Service (South Tees Hospitals NHS Trust)
Open Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm
The service was developed as a joint venture between Macmillan and the trust to ensure that people affected by cancer have access to good quality, comprehensive and appropriate information and support.
The service is currently working with the trust to support the implementation of holistic needs assessment for cancer patients and information prescriptions which will ensure patients have access not only to clinical information but also to information on a wide variety of other issues that can affect cancer patients along the cancer journey.
It is a drop-in service so no appointment is necessary and we can provide information that covers the whole of the cancer journey, including pre-diagnosis, diagnosis and treatments, living with and beyond cancer, palliative and end of life care. We can advise on finance and benefits, refer to the Macmillan benefit adviser and signpost to other local agencies and local/national support groups.
Our literature is available in different languages and a range of formats eg CD, Braille, and we have some which is suitable for those with special needs. We can also offer guided internet access.
If you have any concerns about how cancer is affecting your life then we can listen and support you.
