Imagine receiving some of the worst news of your life, you may not take in the room around you, you may not notice how wonderful the staff were. The Outpatient team know this but want to have a room that is not clinical, but is comfortable with the right amenities to allow them to break this news in a calm and peaceful environment.

The counselling room is not only used for receiving news about cancer diagnosis, but to discuss treatment and to have a private moment away from the rest of the clinic. The room gives patients privacy and dignity, allows for confidentiality and gives a much needed space to support anxious patients and their family whilst waiting on results from biopsies.

The team are fundraising to completely refurbish the room, from decorations to new furniture which will include a water cooler, coffee machine and phone charging points.
