As well as a calming and welcoming environment – designed by patients and their families who chose the artwork and furniture that makes this such a bright and comforting space – the centre also offers emotional and psychological support and a range of wellbeing projects to promote the overall health and fitness of individuals affected by cancer and other long-term conditions.
relax and have a tea or coffee here. We run craft sessions, have a sensory room space – and the garden is a lovely place to sit and reflect when the weather is nice.” Heather McLean, managerWho can use our services?
Anyone with cancer who is under the care of any consultant at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust can use the centre.
Since 2003, when we began providing complementary therapies to cancer patients, our range of services has been widened – and also extended to patients with other long term conditions.
Our services can now be accessed in the Mowbray suite at the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton and in other locations across County Durham and Teesside.
Services such as massage and beauty therapy are also now available to patients on some clinical wards. This includes Ward 14, which primarily cares for cancer patients, as well as within intensive care and the spinal injuries unit.
We also offer therapies to private patients wishing to pay for complementary therapies and a range of activities and workshops like Tai Chi and yoga, as well as hiring out our rooms.
