About this booklet

This information is for health and social care professionals supporting people living with cancer. You can use it to support people who are worried about work, and give them useful guidance. There are questions you could ask them, recommended responses and lists of further sources of support.

 

Please note: This interactive PDF (MAC13538_E04_R) combines and replaces the separate Work Support Route Guides for England (MAC13538_ENG_E03), Scotland (MAC13538_SCOT_E03), Wales (MAC13538_WALES_E03) and Northern Ireland (MAC13538_NI_E03).

 

You can also view our online information about work and cancer for people living with or affected by cancer.
