The Improving the Cancer Journey (ICJ) offers a bridge from the hospital to the community. It recognises the reality that even in treatment, people mainly deal with the impact of cancer at home, at work, with loved ones and as part of their day to day lives; not in the hospital. The service complements clinical care & offers people time & space to think about 'what matters', help them access local supports & services, navigate health & council systems and be a listening ear/point of contact.

“For people who have just been diagnosed with cancer, the service is invaluable”
"This has made a huge difference to my quality of life and I no longer feel a burden . I don’t know where/who I would have turned to without ICJ"
"I am so glad ICJ came into my life at the point where I didn't know what I needed and can’t thank you enough. I found it easy to talk and felt listened to. I tell everyone about a little angel I met.”
