Introduction to Cancer Care Map

Speakers- Robin Pritchard and Paula Hargadon, Co-Directors of Cancer Care Map.

Cancer Care Map is a free, online resource that aims to help people find cancer support services in their local area, anywhere in the UK. 

People with cancer, their friends and family and healthcare professionals can search for any cancer-related service, free of charge. Cancer Care Maps aim is to make sure that no one goes unsupported because they are not aware of a service in their local area.
