Macmillan Cancer Information
and Support Service at
Barnet & Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust
Who we are
When you’re affected by
cancer, having the right kind
of information and support, at
the right time, is essential. The
Macmillan Cancer Information
and Support Centre at Barnet
Hospital provides a confidential,
drop-in service for anyone
affected by cancer. This includes
people who:
• require information about
cancer
• have a cancer diagnosis
• have survived cancer
• are living with the consequences
of a cancer diagnosis
• are looking to reduce the risks
of cancer
• are a carer, relative, or friend of
someone with cancer
• are healthcare professionals
How we can help
Staffed by a Macmillan
Information Specialist and trained
volunteers, we are able to provide:
• Literature on all aspects of
living with cancer.
• Opportunity to discuss cancer
treatments, side effects and
other related issues.
• Opportunity to talk to someone
in a private, comfortable quiet
room.
• Over the phone information
and support for those not able
to access the service in person.
We also offer
• information about local and
national support services
• a benefits advice service in
conjunction with the local
Citizens Advice Centre
‘Having someone to talk to and find
the information I needed was so helpful.’
