UCAN support group, is patient-led and hosted by fellow patients; it's your agenda, your chance to speak, listen, learn, exchange ideas, share experiences, laugh or cry and help support others who are affected in some way by urological cancer.

Come every month or come once in a while. It's your choice.

Bring a family member, partner, carer or friend or come on your own; a very warm welcome is always guaranteed.

Our aim is to offer support to everyone affected by any urological cancer in the North of Scotland, including patients, relatives and friends.

• We offer support by holding monthly informal get-togethers held at CLAN House, 120 Westburn Road, Aberdeen, AB25 2QA.
• Everyone is very welcome to come along and have the opportunity to meet like minded people who all share a common bond.
• Relaxed informal setting.
• Assured confidentiallity and sensitivity
• Occasionally we have presentations and speakers; all professionals in this field of medicine.
• Special events take place throughout the year.
• Teas, coffees & refreshments available.

The committee have been working since October 2011 to create a support group for Urological Cancer Patients, partners, families and carers.

We had three open meetings during 2011and quickly established there was a need for a support group and saw the possible benefits as people shared their experiences and journeys.

The key element is "patient led", the committee exist to facilitate what the group decide regarding direction or possible speakers. In using CLAN House as a base for meetings we have been able to make use of a relaxed atmosphere, conducive for sharing experiences, having a laugh and supporting each other.

The meetings take place at 7pm every third Tuesday of each month. We have a dedicated telephone messaging service on 01224 555885, attendees can leave messages or find out when the next meeting will be.

Any Urological Cancer Patient, family member, friend or carer will be made most welcome.

We look forward to meeting you!
