Macmillan Advice and Guidance Service (MAGS)
The Macmillan Advice and Guidance Service (MAGS) was set up at the Trust in 2019 in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support to provide holistic care to cancer patients.

- Information about support services. The team are able to refer you, your families and carers to these services
- Clarifying, confirming and re-scheduling appointments
- Creating a more seamless service for the patient by liaising with cancer nurse specialists and other clinical services.
