Cancer care review

When diagnosed with cancer you may be offered a Cancer Care Review conducted by your GP practice.

 

This is an opportunity to focus on what’s important to you.

 

Upon diagnosis, one of our Care Co-ordinators may send a questionnaire or call you to offer support. This review will not replace any other reviews or hospital appointments it complements your care, support, health and well-being. You can also contact your Cancer Support Nurse (CSN,) Cancer Support Worker (CSW) or the surgery with any questions or concerns.

The New Macmillan Link Service

Our new service, in Citizens Advice BANES, is here to support you and your family, with any needs or worries, no matter how big or small, even if not directly related to your cancer – from finding a local support group - to getting help around the home.

We’re here, when you’ve completed your cancer treatment, and now have to face a new life anew. We know that cancer can get in the way of living as fully as you used to.

We offer a full needs assessment and provide a personalised plan to link you to resources in the community and ensure you get the support you need.

We can talk about any concerns you may have - from practical support needs, to emotional, or family concerns; to providing general information

This is a free, confidential service for anyone living with cancer and their families or supporters in Bath, Northeast Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucester, Mendip & Frome and South Bristol.

In-person or home visits are available, by appointment
