Support needed to help Mount Vernon staff go the extra mile at Christmas
Working brief: staff at Mount Vernon and the Lynda Jackson centre have pulled out all the stops HELP us go the extra mile for people with cancer this Christmas – that’s the message from NHS staff treating patients at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre and the Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, the teams at the Northwood centres jumped into action, adapting their services to continue to provide extraordinary care to people living with cancer. Lynda Jackson Centre set up telephone helplines to offer advice and support, and also provided guided telephone relaxation sessions, so patients unable to visit the centre could be supported at home.
