Many of your readers will have first hand experience of the sterling work undertaken by the nursing team who work in the Chemotherapy Day Unit at Withybush Hospital. Always looking to the needs of their patients, they approached our charity for help in ensuring that patients and their family members could have access to good quality information and emotional support beyond what they are able to offer themselves.
Working with the CDU team, our charity has researched a number of helpful areas of support and we have just launched a new information website.
www.kipp.tips covers a range of topics including help and advice, transport to attend appointments for treatment, coping with money matters, equipment loan and numerous other topics.
A cancer diagnosis can be simply devastating for the individual, their family and friends. A diagnosis brings with it a multitude of questions which need answers.
kipp.tips seeks to be the starting point by providing details of the organisations locally and across the UK that can help and it provides a direct route to the information.
Our charity, Withybush Hospital CDU Appeal has created the new information portal and will look to expand and develop the website by responding to any suggestions and other feedback received.
