Enhanced Supportive Care

The Enhanced Supportive Care service is part of the wider Supportive and Palliative Care department at Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust. 

Enhanced Supportive Care helps people who are having cancer treatment to stay well and cope with symptoms. These may be caused by the cancer or the cancer treatment. Enhanced Supportive Care is a positive way to help people with cancer focus on what is important to them. We will also support carers and relatives. We can help with: 

  • Physical symptoms of your cancer (for example, pain, feeling sick)
     
  • Side-effects from your cancer treatment (for example, radiotherapy or chemotherapy)
     
  • Talking about and planning for your future
     
  • Sign-posting you to other services for support and advice

Our clinics are run by consultants, specialist doctors and clinical nurse specialists. We are supported by administration staff and other healthcare professionals, such as occupational therapists, dietitians and physiotherapists. We work closely with your oncology team (cancer doctors and nurses).
