Huntingdon Community Cancer Network

The HCCN aims to help people who are recovering from or living with cancer in the Huntingdonshire area to take back their lives and to play an active part in managing their health. The team is based at the Woodlands Cancer unit at Hinchingbrooke Hospital and are able to see patients at home, at work, in the hospital or even out and about in the Huntingdon area.

The service can be accessed by anyone over the age of 18 affected by any cancer, either directly or indirectly. Today, the service works across 23 GP surgeries including the Spinney. Their website provides a host of information including how to manage cancer positively as well as information about lifestyle changes or activities that may be beneficial.
