Special populations and services

After cancer treatment, you may continue to need support from a range of specialist services, depending on your individual needs. This support can help you manage your ongoing health, adjust to life after treatment, and access the right care at the right time.

This section provides information about services available in the community and within the hospital, including mental health support, palliative care, learning disability support, and tailored follow-up programmes. It also includes guidance for specific groups, such as young people transitioning from paediatric to adult services, and support with returning to work or education.

Our aim is to help you understand what support is available beyond treatment, and how to access services that are right for you.
