Southport and Formby Cancer Information and Support Centre in Southport

Southport and Formby Cancer Information and Support Centre is re-opening its doors to provide residents affected by cancer with face to face, Covid safe support following the recent easing of lockdown restrictions.

The team at the centre on Stanley Street in Southport – a partnership between Macmillan Cancer Support and NHS Southport and Formby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) – has put measures in place so that it can safely resume services for patients and staff.

This means that there are some changes to the way the service is delivered, initially, there will only be pre-bookable appointments available. The team will be continually reviewing guidance so that the drop-in service, support groups, courses and events will also be resumed as soon as it is safe to do so.

To protect staff, volunteers and service users, a simple health questionnaire and temperature check will be carried out before anyone enters the centre. In addition, unless there is a medical reason why it is not possible, visitors and staff will be required to wear a disposable mask or face covering of their own.

All rooms that are used in the centre comply with the 2-metre social distancing guidance. The centre will be thoroughly cleaned at the start and end of each day and all tables, chairs and used areas will be wiped down after each person has left.

Dr Graeme Allan, Macmillan GP and cancer clinical lead at NHS Southport and Formby CCG, said: “We know that there has been a sharp drop in the number of patients referred for cancer investigations and appointments during the pandemic.

“We understand that some people may be concerned about visiting their GP with symptoms or attending hospital for a cancer referral appointment. Strict infection control procedures and video and phone consultations have been introduced in GP practices to ensure the safety of patients and staff.

“It is vital that people contact their GP if they have any signs or symptoms of cancer because early diagnosis saves lives.

“It’s brilliant to see the Southport and Formby Cancer Information and Support Centre re-open, we know that coronavirus means people living with cancer need help now more than ever. The centre has increased the number of counseling sessions so that the trained and experienced staff can provide more vital emotional support to people with cancer locally.”

Tanya Mulvey, manager at Southport Cancer Information and Support Centre, said: “We know that the last few months have been incredibly difficult for people affected by cancer and although we have been offering telephone support (which we’ll continue to do), we know that seeing someone face-to-face is far preferable for many people.

“Sadly, we will not be able to hold your hand or hug you – but the welcome will be just as warm as it ever was, and we’ll do our very best to help and support you.

“We will be continually reviewing our services against evolving guidance and hope that we will be able to return to our normal service provision as soon as possible.” 

To find out about the support available and to book an appointment, please call the centre on 07947 630654 (Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm).

This number will be in operation until Wednesday, 5 August.

From Wednesday 5 August onwards, please call 07976 767188 to access the centre’s services.

    Hi, I think your web site may be having browser compatibility
    problems. When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues.
    I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!

    Aside from that, excellent site!

    I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative
    and amusing, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is an issue that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently
    about. Now i’m very happy that I found this during my search
    for something regarding this.

    Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. However think about if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could undeniably be one of the best in its field. Excellent blog!

    I realized more something totally new on this weight-loss issue. Just one issue is that good nutrition is vital any time dieting. An enormous reduction in junk food, sugary foods, fried foods, sugary foods, red meat, and bright flour products may perhaps be necessary. Having wastes bloodsuckers, and toxins may prevent desired goals for fat loss. While particular drugs momentarily solve the issue, the bad side effects usually are not worth it, and in addition they never give more than a short-lived solution. This can be a known indisputable fact that 95 of celebrity diets fail. Thanks for sharing your opinions on this web site.

    Spot on with this write-up, I really suppose this website wants much more consideration. I?ll most likely be once more to read much more, thanks for that info.

  27. Hello There. I found your weblog using msn. That is a very smartly written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and come back to read extra of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I?ll definitely comeback.

  28. One thing I would like to discuss is that fat burning plan fast may be possible by the perfect diet and exercise. Ones size not merely affects the look, but also the complete quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, along with physical capabilities are influenced in putting on weight. It is possible to do everything right whilst still having a gain. In such a circumstance, a problem may be the offender. While excessive food instead of enough work out are usually to blame, common health conditions and widespread prescriptions can certainly greatly add to size. Thx for your post here.

    Thanks for your posting. One other thing is that individual states in the United states of america have their very own laws that affect house owners, which makes it quite difficult for the the legislature to come up with a new set of rules concerning property foreclosures on house owners. The problem is that each state has got own guidelines which may have impact in an adverse manner with regards to foreclosure procedures.

    Thanks for revealing your ideas. The first thing is that college students have an alternative between fed student loan as well as a private education loan where it really is easier to choose student loan debt consolidation than through the federal student loan.

    Together with almost everything that appears to be developing inside this area, a significant percentage of opinions are somewhat refreshing. Nevertheless, I beg your pardon, but I can not subscribe to your entire theory, all be it stimulating none the less. It seems to me that your remarks are generally not totally justified and in simple fact you are generally yourself not thoroughly confident of the assertion. In any case I did take pleasure in reading it.
