King’s Health Partners Cancer Centre at Guy’s
Transforming the Experience
of
Cancer Patients
What the Cancer Centre is all about
Patient comment:
“It was all fine as an inpatient, but now as an outpatient, it’s
all different appointments on different days with different
members of the team. Ideally it would all be co-ordinated –
e.g. Guys, dressings, speech therapists, CNS – all in one
package.
And I have Radiotherapy coming up and I’d like that
coordinated with other things too.”
