Appointments

Our clinic takes place each week on Monday afternoon at the Cancer Centre at Guy's.

Members of our team may also arrange extra meetings with you for: 

• nursing support
• psychological support
• diet and health lifestyle advice
• help with housing or education
• youth support

If travelling to the Cancer Centre at Guy's is difficult, we can provide individual online support sessions.

How to get an appointment

Your consultant or nurse specialist can refer you to us if you have been diagnosed with cancer and are between the age of 16 and 24.

We can continue to support you beyond this age range in the years following diagnosis and treatment when needed.

Changing or cancelling your appointment

Please call the number in your appointment letter if you need to change or cancel your appointment.

Before your appointment

You do not need to do anything before your first appointment. However, you may want to:

• make a list of things you're worried about or questions you have
• bring a parent, partner or friend with you for support

During your appointment

Your first appointment will take about 2 hours.

We will measure your height and weight when you arrive. We will already know what type of cancer or brain tumour you are being treated for.

At your first appointment, you'll meet different members of our team. This can include:

• lead nurse
• specialist doctors
• psychologist
• social worker
• dietitian
• fertility specialist
• youth support coordinator

After your appointment

We will send you and your GP a letter with details of what we talked about at your appointment. Each member of our team will write their own section.

We may arrange to see you outside of the clinic to provide additional help. This can include:

• support with your psychological and emotional wellbeing
• practical help, such as applying for housing or other benefits

We will also arrange a date for your next clinic appointment. This will be agreed with you based on your need.
