MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT - THE BARNSLEY MACMILLAN INFORMATION POD

The Macmillan Pod at Barnsley Hospital offers a safe supportive space for anyone affected by cancer.

The POD is run by a member of staff and a hospital volunteer. Who can offer support, guidance and information as well as a listening ear. The team are also able to link in and seek advice from our cancer teams at Barnsley Hospital if they feel this is appropriate. As well as signposting you to a range of local cancer support services.

There are a wide range of Macmillan trusted information booklets for you to take away, alongside information about local services and support.

The POD is open Monday to Thursday 9am - 4.30pm closing at 12.30pm - 1pm for lunch every day. Friday 9am - 12.30pm. No appointment is necessary, just drop in between these times. No direct referrals are being taken at this present time.

Out of these hours, there are a variety of Macmillan leaflets on display for you to take away. You can also contact the team at the Macmillan Pd via email bdg-tr.macpod@nhs.net

We are located in the Outpatients Department based in Barnsley Hospital on the ground floor (Outpatients Entrance C3) at the bottom of the escalator, next to the Volunteers Café.
