Hospital based Psycho-Oncology Service

Many patients who receive a cancer diagnosis experience a range of complex emotions: numbness, shock, fear, anger, guilt or sadness. These emotions can be short-lived, or they can continue and worsen, leading to significant and severe depression or anxiety.

The hospital based psycho- oncology service helps to respond to this distress, developing interventions to match need, and offering support throughout the patient’s hospital stay.
