Macmillan Nurses provide support and information for people and their families and carers affected by cancer, including advice on benefits. They are there to help from the time of diagnosis right through the illness if needed. The Macmillan Nurses can be contacted through the surgery.
Macmillan nurses also liaise with the local hospices so patients can benefit from support there as well.
