Cancer patients and their families describe their experiences as a
journey, from getting to grips with a first diagnosis through treatment
and recovery, and sometimes relapse and loss.
When LCIS talk with patients, families, carers and health professionals,
there is always a need for clear, direct information to support understanding,
planning and decisions.
The LCIS website tries to offer a practical Lanarkshire local perspective
and links to support people on their journey.

ABOUT THE SITE
The LCIS Project Team have tried to make information about cancer and
support services more accessible to all people in Lanarkshire and we
have tried to do this by:
Touch screen - Useful if you have not used a computer
or the internet before.
Click here for touch screen
and computer locations
Site links There are specialist sites for information,
medications, treatments and different kinds of support. You can visit
these for the information you want, then return to the LCIS site.

about touchscreens and how to move around the site
Boosting use - Your local library has a computer service
that can be used to visit this site. This might be useful if you do
not have your own computer, if you refer someone who doesn’t have
a computer – or if you need a little help with the whole computer
thing. North
Lanarkshire Libraries - South
Lanarkshire Libraries
TV Access - North Lanarkshire Council Library Service

TV.

Additional Support - Some people may need extra help
getting the information they want, perhaps because of language, mobility
or physical challenges. This page provides links to support services
for those people who may have additional needs.

Young People - Young patients, young carers and younger
family members have their own section for contacts and support.

Patients and Carers - In order to provide information
and support relevant to patients and carers the LCIS Project Team conducted
research with patients and carers and asked them what they wanted.
