This directory of information has been collated to support patients who are living with cancer, but also for carers, clinicians, and staff within primary and secondary care to highlight the support available for our cancer patients. This will include charities, voluntary sector, support groups, secondary care, primary care, hospices, and any other support services which are accessible to our patients in Dudley.
This directory has been separated into categories with a brief description of the support available, how to refer and contact details. Many of these support services patients can self-refer too, it will be highlighted in the contact information if a health care professional is required to complete the referral. In addition, there are specific sections on cancer types based around illnesses and cancer groups. It is important patients, their families and carers are aware of what is available should they need it, and patients are cared for beyond a cancer diagnosis.
