Cancer Wellbeing and Support Centre
The Cancer Wellbeing & Support Centre at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital is open to provide vital information and support to anyone who has been affected by cancer. The Centre is run by the Macmillan Information and Support Service Managers, Vicky and Caroline.
We offer a welcoming, friendly environment for patients, families and carers to come in and talk about what matters to them, at all stages of their cancer journey. In addition, we are here to provide extra support and resource to our secondary care colleagues in the hospital, GP’s and primary care colleagues.
