What is this service?

This service is a joint venture between Macmillan Cancer Support and Kingston Hospital. We want to ensure that if you are affected by cancer, you have access to comprehensive, expert information and support.

Our service is staffed by a health professional and trained volunteers, some of whom have experience of living with cancer.

We can help anyone – patients, their relatives, friends and carers – with concerns about cancer.

Our information and support

When you visit our information centre, you’ll be greeted either by our manager or a trained volunteer. You’ll find a range of information leaflets on all aspects of cancer.
