Cancer Information and Support Service
Who are we?
The Cancer Information and Support Service at Stoke Mandeville Hospital and Wycombe Hospital has been developed to ensure people affected by cancer have access to good quality, comprehensive and appropriate information and support.
The service is staffed by health professionals and supported by trained volunteers. Some of our volunteers have personal experience of living with cancer.
We can put you in touch with complementary therapists, finance and benefits advisors, and other local and national support groups.
What we offer
We offer support and information to anyone who has concerns about cancer, their relatives, friends and carers.
