Macmillan launches information drop-in service for Chinese people living with cancer, UK

Article Date: 22 Sep 2004 - 16:00 PST
UK - Macmillan Cancer Relief launched the first Chinese cancer information drop-in service in Soho on Monday, 21 September. In collaboration with the Chinese National Healthy Living Centre there will be a cancer information drop-in service providing information in Chinese and English, access to support groups and signposting to other health professionals based at the Westminster Chinese Library located in the Charing Cross library every Tuesday.

Chinese people living with cancer will greatly benefit from the service. The Chinese population is one of the largest and well-established minority ethnic communities in the UK with around 247,000 residents.

Amy Butler, Macmillan Chinese Information worker, says,

'The CIRCLE study�, funded by Macmillan Cancer Relief, found that Chinese people lack information on prevention and the causes of cancer, early symptoms and screening programmes. Since English is not a first language for many Chinese people living in the UK, information is needed in Chinese and in different formats. There is a demand for more culturally appropriate information on better living conditions, healthier lifestyles and cancer prevention and treatment.'

Article continues below and (thank you)

 
As a result of these communication barriers and cultural beliefs, many Chinese people could be missing vital cancer diagnoses or delays in treatment. They may also miss important prevention messages.

In the light of the results, Macmillan Cancer Relief is to fund the cancer information drop in service and the first Chinese primary care cancer information worker to be situated at Westminster Chinese Library, within Charing Cross Library, London.

For more information, please contact, Juliet Crotty, Macmillan Cancer Relief, 0208 222 9028 or email: jcrotty@macmillan.org.uk
