Cancer Care

Cancer Care Reviews 

At RPCC we offer a Cancer Care Review to any patient who has recently been diagnosed with cancer or has been receiving treatment for cancer. This is an opportunity to talk about your cancer experience and any concerns you may have with a GP with a specialist interest in cancer care. We will send out an invitation for you to make an appointment either over the phone or face to face with Dr Johns to discuss any problems you may be experiencing. These may be physical concerns such as side effects from treatment, practical concerns such as finances or emotional concerns such as anxiety or low mood.

 

We normally send invitations out 3-6 months after diagnosis but if you feel you need some advice or support sooner. Please contact the surgery and ask to speak to Leigh Grainger who is our practice Cancer Care Buddy. She will assist you in getting the help you need.

 

The Macmillan Cancer Support website has lots of information about all aspects of cancer.
