Our team

Macmillan Oncology Dietitians

We manage the nutritional care of anyone having active treatment at the Royal Surrey Cancer Centre diagnosed with cancers including colorectal, lung, gynaecological, pancreas, renal, melanoma, breast, prostate, neuroendocrine and brain. 

We play an integral role in helping you if you are struggling to eat and are losing significant weight during your treatment. We particularly look after patients with complex difficulties such as managing pancreatic enzymes, bowel blockages, high output stomas and swallowing difficulties. We will also help in providing advice on managing the side effects of your treatment and your cancer so that we can improve your nutritional wellbeing.

If you are struggling to eat and drink and have problems, please ask your nurse or doctor to refer you to our service. You can find more general advice by watching our Diet and Cancer videos.

Macmillan head and neck dietitians

We provide nutritional support to all patients with a head and neck cancer diagnosis. This includes surgical, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy and palliative care. Once treatment and care is completed at the centre we ask our colleagues in the Macmillan Aftercare Rehabilitation Services (MARS) team to provide ongoing care at consultant led clinics closer to your home.
