• Access to recovery packages for those living with and beyond cancer
• Time and privacy to explore what matters to you
• Explanation and aims of treatments
• Help to understand information given to you from the hospital and other health care professionals and help with making sense of the options offered
• Strategies for coping with side effects
• Emotional and practical support for carers
• Advice on talking to children when an adult has cancer
• Support with the impact of a cancer diagnosis and treatment upon relationships, sexuality and intimacy
• Information and support when treatment is no longer wanted or is possible
• Liaison with GPs, hospital teams and other agencies in your local area
• Opportunity to meet other patients and carers

Counselling is available for patients, carers and family members in a supportive and confidential environment. Their counsellors are members of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and have experience of working with cancer.

Suspicion of Cancer Service was developed for patients whose symptoms indicate they do not fit a currently established cancer pathway. This pathway will stop the back and forth between the GP practice and the hospital which can lead to delays in diagnosis, higher rates of late stage or emergency admission and poorer outcomes for the patient. Patients who are referred to the Suspicion of cancer service have reported symptoms that may be concerning to their GP. These symptoms can be unexplained weight loss, tiredness and a loss of appetite.
