Appointments

First appointment

If starting chemotherapy or immunotherapy, your first appointment will be in Oncology Outpatients, Level B of the Cancer Centre.

If you are being considered for liver surgery, you will meet one of the HPB Surgeons, usually in Outpatients 3. 

Your first appointment will be face-to-face and you will meet your consultant and most likely your clinical nurse specialist (CNS). Your CNS will be your keyworker throughout your treatment and care.
