FORCE is committed to taking support into the wider community, mirroring many of the services available at our Exeter Support and Information Centre.
As well as supporting the nurses delivering chemotherapy at Ottery St Mary Hospital, a vital service pump-primed by funding from FORCE, we are now able to offer a growing range of options for patients and their families.
FORCE works alongside the medical teams to offer counselling, physio and exercise clinics, complementary therapies and group support.
We have also now returned appointment-only services to Okehampton Hospital every Wednesday and Tiverton Hospital on Mondays.
Complementary therapies are also available in Cullompton.
We remain determined to support people affected by cancer closer to where they live, so important to communities across Devon.
FORCE has maintained specialist physiotherapy clinics which feed into exercise programmes in Exeter, Exminster, Tiverton, Okehampton, Crediton, Cullompton, Axminster, Ottery St Mary, Seaton, Exmouth, Honiton and Barnstaple.
