About us

What we do

We are involved in a variety of small working groups.  Over the last 18 months, these groups have been involved with NHS Tayside staff to:

• plan a new waiting area at Perth
• plan a new radiotherapy waiting area in Ninewells
• create new leaflets for lung, prostate and skin cancer patients
• develop a new aid to help diagnose skin cancers
• help to improve the image of Roxburghe House
  

What we don't do

We don't deal with individual cases or complaints.  You can get help in this area from the Complaints Service on 0800 027 5507

How we will help you

As part of a representative group we can help with the following:

• travel costs including bus fares, and car parking
• carer and child care costs, if needed
• support and encouragement
• letting you know how your comments and ideas have made a difference
