Did you know that there is support available for you to stop smoking and that it is always beneficial to stop smoking even after a cancer diagnosis…

It can improve cancer survival in all cancer sites and receiving help can improve the success rate of giving up.

Please speak to your clinical team today or speak to a member of the team at the Information Pod on level 2 near Oncology & Haematology Radiotherapy.

Last week, the government launched a 10-year National Cancer Plan for England with a target that by 2035, 3 in 4 people diagnosed with cancer will be cancer-free or living well five years later.

In Cambridge, research is driving progress through earlier detection, better screening, pioneering genomics, and innovative trials that are shaping the future of cancer care.

The new Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital will bring together world-leading scientists and clinicians under one roof, focused on detecting cancer earlier and treating it more precisely.

We’re proud that Cambridge research is playing a central role in shaping and delivering this national ambition.

The way you check in for most outpatient appointments has changed.

For appointments at clinics 5, 6, 32, R3, 43, 21, 14, PUVA, Physio, CT Scanning, Ultrasound and Oncology the check in system has not changed. Please check in as usual at the clinic reception.

For all other clinics, please check in at our Outpatient Entrance reception (Level 2)
• Our reception team will check you in and direct you where to go.

Alternatively, you can check in online with MyChart:
• The “I’m here” button appears up to 20 minutes before your appointment
• MyChart has the most up-to-date location details (even if your letter or the NHS app shows something different)
• Please complete any pre-appointment tasks first

ℹ️ Please note: If you received your appointment letter before these changes, it may show the old location. If you need any help, please ask at the Outpatient Entrance reception

Trigger Warning - This post does talk about domestic abuse

Some people facing cancer, either as a patient or carer, may unfortunately also experience domestic abuse.

Should this be the case please do speak to your clinical team when in an appointment or when receiving treatment for advice and support. Also please do contact the service for information and signposting to relevant services.

Here is a link to a Macmillan Cancer Support information page with stories from people living with cancer who have also experienced abuse and options of what to do and where to access support if needed
