age units in NHS hospitals.
As well as state-of-the-art facilities to keep patients occupied during
long stays in hospital, the units provide an environment where teenagers
can meet others in a similar situation. Units allow patients to build
friendships and mechanisms to cope with their disease without being
patronised or ignored and are staffed with professionals able to fully
understand and manage the needs of the patients.
To date, TCT has built units in London, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham,
Sheffield, Liverpool, Glasgow and Newcastle and would like at least 22
units to ensure every teenager with cancer has access.
In addition to building units, TCT funds a nationwide Education team,
teaching young people in schools, colleges and universities about cancer,
prevention and healthy living. They also provide a conference for young
people with cancer and training for medical professionals.
