For patients | Cancer Information Centre
Cancer Information Centre
Throughout your treatment with us, you will receive a range of information leaflets and other materials that will help to explain the treatments and procedures that you will undergo. You will be fully supported by your Clinical Nurse Specialist and medical team who will provide you with individualised information about your treatment.
When you’re affected by cancer, having the right kind of information and support, at the right time, is essential. The Vicky Clement Jones Macmillan Information Centre at Barts provides a confidential, drop-in service for anyone affected by cancer. Staffed by a Macmillan Cancer Nurse Specialist and trained volunteers, we are able to provide:
-
Literature on all aspects of living with cancer
-
Internet access to guide people to appropriate information resources
-
An opportunity to discuss treatments, side effects and other cancer related issues
-
An opportunity to talk to someone in a private, comfortable quiet room
-
Over the phone information and support for those not able to access the service in person.
