Macmillan Cancer Support and Aurora Wellbeing Centre are working together to provide a survivorship hub at the Worksop centre.
Our Wellbeing Practitioners are available Monday to Friday, and offer individual support tailored to a persons needs. They can also refer people to other relevant services, including confidential counselling, provided in partnership with Let’s Talk Wellbeing.
A variety of information around Cancer and living with Cancer is provided on site and there is a regular monthly focus on particular types of Cancer to help promote early awareness and to provide information for people in need of support.
MACMILLAN HUB
Within the Wellbeing Centre, we have a Macmillan Hub which provides high quality, up-to-date information and advice for cancer patients and their families. This includes information on prevention, signs and symptoms, cancer screening programmes, cancer treatments, the financial and emotional effects of a cancer diagnosis, diet and nutrition, information for children and young people, carer information, and end of life support.
Please feel free to browse the hub at your leisure. If there is any specific Macmillan cancer-related information we do not stock, we can order relevant materials for you.
We have Macmillan Wellbeing practitioners who are here for you on the site who can give one to one support, give guidance and signpost to relevant services between Monday and Friday.
For more information, please call into the centre.
