If you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with cancer, we're here to help. We would review patients who are concerned about Cancer as a possible diagnosis.

Your GP is able to perform screening tests and investigations. If your symptoms indicate an urgent review is required, you will be referred under a Two-week wait pathway.
