Is it for me?
Leaving hospital can be very daunting. You can sometimes feel isolated. Many patients find it is helpful to meet with other patients. Some people want to be involved as much as possible about their condition, others prefer not to. You are welcome to attend any of our groups twice a year. For more information speak with your Clinical Nurse Specialists.
When and where?
Two groups are held each year June and October at the Castle Hill Site. Invitations and a programme of events are sent out the month previous.
Come and have a drink, light snack and a chat. All are welcome.
