The Nottingham Macmillan Information and Support Service, based at both Nottingham City Hospital and Queens Medical Centre provide a free and confidential drop in service to anyone affected by cancer including patients, family, friends, health and social care professionals. The service is staffed by a team of friendly Macmillan Professionals who are here to help you make informed choices or to access other sources of support.

If you or someone close to you is affected by cancer, some of the services we can provide are:

• Support for bereaved families

You can access our drop-in services without a referral or appointment, just visit a centre, call, text or email us. So whether you need advice on planning for the future or how to get active or just a chat with someone who understands what you're going through, we are here for you.
