Head and Neck Cancer

Patients in Swindon and Wiltshire who are diagnosed with head and neck cancer (HNC) at Great Western Hospital are referred to Oxford University Hospitals for treatment, and once treatment is completed, patients return to Great Western Hospital for rehabilitation and follow up.

This team supports patients by:

• Being a point of contact for you throughout your treatment and on-going care
• Providing emotional support and expert clinical advice
• Referring and signposting to other support services (e.g. psychological, financial, social and community, including support groups)
• Health promotion, education and provision of holistic needs assessments
• Advice and support for living well with cancer and beyond cancer treatment, alongside the Macmillan Personalised Care Team.
