Lung Cancer Health Wellbeing Support and Survivorship Group

The group meets at the London Road Bowling Club, London Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme ST5 1LZ, on the last Wednesday of every month.

The atmosphere is very friendly and informal and there is always plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. The group provides an opportunity for patients, family members and friends to meet up with others in similar situations and share their experiences and feelings. There is also a range of activities available throughout the year and a nurse specialist is on hand to give advice, information and support.
