Coronavirus guidance for health professionals
We understand it's a challenging time for healthcare professionals. That's why we're doing whatever it takes to support you with the latest information, training and resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.
You can also access our emotional health and well-being hub to learn about all the ways we're here for you.
Quality together toolkit
Quality Together is Macmillan's quality standard. It's designed to help teams plan and deliver a high quality, person-centred experience for their patients. The toolkit will provide you with:
- measures and examples of good practice
- feedback from patients who have received care
- action plans for quality improvement.
You can access the Quality Together toolkit on LearnZone.
Work support route guide
We want everyone living with cancer to have the information and support they need to make informed decisions about work. You can use this guide to help you:
- feel prepared to talk about work-related concerns
- know which questions to ask and how to respond
- signpost to further sources of support.

Cancer information for your patients
We produce high quality cancer information for your patients so they can make informed decisions about their treatment, care and day-to-day lives. All of our cancer information is written by experts, and is available free of charge. Visit our website to see the full range of cancer information and support.
Signpost patients to local cancer services
We know that cancer can affect many areas of a person's life. That's why we support local services to help people with the physical, financial and emotional impacts of cancer.
With our services directory, it's easy to signpost patients to:
- local support groups
- information and support centres
- physical activity groups.
