Local people with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses are being offered free advice and support at a series of drop-in sessions
We recently launched a new Health and Wellbeing Hub with walk-in events across Salford and, following feedback from patients, have now set up additional drop-in sessions.
We recently launched a new Health and Wellbeing Hub with walk-in events across Salford and, following feedback from patients, have now set up additional drop-in sessions which anyone with a life-limiting illness can attend free of charge. Carers, relatives and health care professionals are also welcome.
A registered nurse will be available and can provide advice, as well as organising referrals to a doctor, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, counsellor, social worker, dietitian, nurse or complementary therapist for any issue related to a life-limiting illness.
Our aim is to provide our specialist support to as many people as possible across Greater Manchester, and we’re really pleased to be offering more free drop-in sessions for local patients, carers, family members and health professionals. At the hospice we provide a breadth of advice and services for local people, and patients are often surprised to hear that we can support them right through their illness – from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond. Supporting people in the community is a big part of our work, and we’re hoping as many people as possible will drop in to receive information or to meet our team. Rachel McMillan, Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Clinical Services
