Central Nottinghamshire Cancer Patient and Carer Forum
Who we are
- A voice for people living with cancer
- We are a local group of patients and carers who have experience of living with cancer
- We aim to work in partnership with local health, social and voluntary professionals to improve cancer services
What we do
- We seek to co-ordinate and promote the views of people and their families living with cancer
- We advise the Health Service about cancer care in Central Notts from the users and carers point of view
- We link with and support local and national self help groups and cancer charities
- We meet regularly with professionals to discuss issues of importance to people living with cancer
- We communicate directly with the Nottingham Cancer Centre and Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
- We raise public awareness of cancer symptoms and prevention
- We contribute to public consultations on cancer issues
However we are not a support group or complaints service.
You can be involved in many ways, for example you can:
- Tell us your views on ways of improving cancer services
- Join a network of people on our mailing list and comment on issues we are discussing
- Act as a link between self help groups and the Forum
