👉The National Cancer Plan which has been published today, Wednesday, 4 February, will make England a world leader in cancer survival, bringing the latest treatments and technology to NHS cancer care.

💜It was developed in partnership with cancer charities, clinicians and most importantly, patients. Every action is informed by someone’s real experience.

🎗️ This World Cancer Day, we’re proud to share that the Macmillan Information & Support Centre at Chesterfield Royal Hospital has been awarded a Carer‑Friendly Quality Award by Derbyshire Carers Association.

The award recognises the transformative support provided by our colleagues to carers of people living with cancer.

Carers often don’t see themselves as carers at all — many only reach out when they’re in crisis. That’s why our team, through the H‑Connect Carers Project, has worked to identify and support carers earlier.

💚The Macmillan unit offers dedicated drop‑in sessions, resources, and the empowering “You Matter Too” support group. Whether you need advice, emotional support, practical information or just someone to talk to, the team is ready to help.

➡️ Find out more about the award and the incredible work behind it:

💜Today, Wednesday, 4 February is World Cancer Day.

💜We know that behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, a community and a story.

💜Part of that community are healthcare professionals, and as we send love to all those patients across our community who live with a cancer diagnosis, we'd also like to thank our colleagues throughout Primary Care, Pathology, our Screening Teams, Surgical Teams, Pharmacy, AHP's and our community teams who support them.

🏥Today we remain busy in our hospital.

🧑‍⚕️We're asking for your help - if you need medical care for a condition or injury that is not life threatening or an emergency then please think whether you need to receive that care in ED.

💊Could you contact NHS111 who will advise you about the care you need and the right place to receive it, or visit a UTC, or a community pharmacy who may be able to give the care you need?

👉Our ED is busy and patients are prioritised on clinical need which may mean that you will wait a long time to be seen. Please support us to give care to those who need it most and you need.

⚠️We have several confirmed cases of norovirus on our wards and colleagues who are affected – and we’re asking for your help in preventing the spread of this infectious virus through our site.

✅No wards currently have restrictions, but we continue to monitor the situation.

❤️We don’t want to prevent people coming to see their loved ones, but we need to safeguard our patients and colleagues. We are asking our visitors and colleagues to make sure that:

🏩You are well enough to come to work/visit loved ones – if you have any sort of diarrhoea and vomiting then please do not come to our hospital until you have no symptoms for 48 hours.

🤲🧴You wash your hands thoroughly – using soap and water every time you enter and leave the wards and in between if you are helping to care for a loved one or help them with meals.

🔍Remain vigilant - look out for symptoms in yourself, colleagues and patients, and follow the guidance below.

If possible, when accompanying a loved one to ED, think whether you need to be with them - helping to keep our department less overcrowded will also help to stop the spread of bugs and illness.
