Macmillan Cancer Support and the North Highland Cancer Information and Support Centre (NHCISC) based in Thurso, is hoping to understand the needs of people who have either had cancer, supported someone with cancer or referred or recommended someone to the NHCISC.

The Thurso centre also wants to hear from people who have been unable to access cancer support in the north of Scotland. This may be due to a variety of reasons but NHCISC needs to know why this has not been possible.

Please take 10 minutes to complete the survey (which is anonymous) to say what you like about the Thurso centre and how you think the service may be improved. The survey closes on August 2 and can be found at: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/NHCISC/

Hard copies of the survey will be held at the centre along with a downloadable version on its website at: www.nhcisc.org/july-news-2022.html

Hard copies of the survey should be handed into the NHCISC admin office where they will be scanned and sent electronically to Macmillan Cancer Support. The results will be published in due course, and the centre thanks you in anticipation of your support.
