Patient Groups and Support

Everyone deserves equal access to brilliant cancer care.

We work with patient groups and cancer charities to help address variations in treatment and care,  and share best practice with local healthcare providers.

Cancer Care Map

The Cancer Care Map is an online tool that helps you find cancer support services and cancer information centres in your local area wherever you are in the UK. Simply enter your postcode and leave the 'keyword' box empty to see what support services are local to you.

To find your local cancer information centre, enter the postcode of your NHS Trust (the hospital where you attend appointments) and leave the 'keyword' box empty. Cancer Care Map is run by The Richard Dimbleby Cancer Fund charity.
