South Tees Hospitals FT: Holistic Wellbeing Calls for Cancer Patients

At the outset of the pandemic a new telephone service was established to proactively call cancer patients to check their wellbeing, offer holistic therapy, provide local information and support, refer to appropriate services or simply provide a listening ear and reduce isolation.

The Trinity Holistic team, along with support from the Macmillan Information and Support Centre at South Tees, offered the service to approximately 6,000 cancer patients, carers and families registered with the centre. It was also made available to the wider North East population, which includes some of the most deprived wards in the country.
