"Both Helen and Karen gave a really professional foot and shoulder massage, which left me feeling much more relaxed and soothed (after hours in a medical unit this is particularly restful).  An excellent service for the patients".  MA

Our complementary therapy service is available to patients and their carers on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Our team of experienced therapists are based on ward 36, chemotherapy day unit wards 34 & 35.

The service has been established for a number of years and has been developed in partnership with medical colleagues.

Patients can self refer for complementary therapy at any time or can ask a member of staff to make an appointment for them.
