Supportive Care
Cancerbackup
The impact of a diagnosis of cancer has an effect on patients,
their families and friends. It may raise a range of questions
about the disease and its treatment, as well as how to cope
practically and emotionally. Cancerbackup and The London
Clinic work in partnership together to provide information about
cancer and its treatment, and about the practical help and support
available on living with cancer. Our information can be found
in different mediums including leaflets, booklets, books,
audio-cassettes, videos and the internet.
The Cancerbackup Information Centre is located on the 2nd floor
of The London Clinic next to the outpatient oncology unit.
The centre is staffed and run by a Cancerbackup Information Nurse
Specialist, who is a qualified cancer nurse with extensive
experience in all the issues that affect cancer patients, their
family and friends. The centre is open free of
charge, on a drop in basis, from 9am - 4.30pm to all patients,
their families, carers and friends.
If you would like to refer a patient or make an enquiry please
