Overview

South east London teenage and young adult (TYA) cancer

Our teenage and young adults service offers extra support to anyone aged 16 to 24 when diagnosed with cancer.

This support is in addition to the treatment you receive from experts in your particular type of cancer. 

We understand how cancer at this age can impact your education, employment and personal development.

Our team of experts includes:

  • consultants
  • specialist nurses
  • a dietitian 
  • a psychologist
  • social workers

We work with your consultant and specialist medical teams to provide psychological and social support.

Our new purpose built ward at the Cancer Centre at Guy's is due to open in the autumn of 2022. It's designed for the highest standards of care and to be a space where everyone supports each other.

Our support service is available to young adults having their medical treatment at all hospitals in south east London and east Kent.

Our partner hospitals include:

  • King's College Hospital
  • Lewisham and Greenwich Hospitals
  • Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup
  • Princess Royal University Hospital, Bromley
  • Darent Valley Hospital
