Invitation to Cancer Health and Wellbeing event
The Macmillan Information Centres at Northern Care Alliance invite patients with a cancer diagnosis, along with their loved one, to attend a Health and Wellbeing event. The next event is on Wednesday 19th November in Salford. We encourage anyone living in the nearby areas to attend to see what support is available to you. Please see poster below for further details on how to book.
The Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Service supports patients attending Salford Royal Hospital. The service aims to provide a valuable resource, offering a wide range of services to support people affected by cancer. We have two information centres at Salford: one in the Hope building at Salford Royal Hospital (on the ground floor next to WHSmith), the other at The Christie at Salford.
If you or your family are affected by cancer, we can offer high-quality information and support as well as referrals to other services (such as benefits advisers, social workers or local councils) to help you cope with the practical, emotional & financial effects of cancer.
We provide ward visits to patients in the hospital who need support, as well as a telephone and email support service. No referral is necessary, but if you are an inpatient, you can ask the ward staff or your nurse specialist to contact us to arrange a visit.
We are here to support all people affected by cancer, including patients, family & friends, carers, and health professionals. We can offer information, support and referrals on a wide range of services, including;
- Befriending services
- Benefits advice
- Cancer information materials
- Cancer information materials in other languages
- Carer support
- Counselling
- Emotional support
- Financial support
- Look Good, Feel Better
- Practical support
- Self Help & Support Groups
- Signposting to other services
- Transport services
- Volunteering activities
You do not need a referral to access our service. We are available for drop in or telephone support Monday – Friday, 8.30am - 4pm (excluding bank holidays)
