Patient Information

Preparing For Treatment: Our team of head and neck cancer clinical specialists has created easy to understand videos for patients preparing for cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy). These videos explain what to expect before surgery, how to prepare, and what to do after treatment to help with recovery. They are designed to improve both physical and mental health.

NHS Inform: NHS inform is a new national health information service providing a co-ordinated approach and a single source of quality assured health information for the public in Scotland. Condition-specific information is accessed via the Health Library.

Head and Neck Cancer: Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre is the lead centre for the delivery of non-surgical cancer care in the West of Scotland. This section of the Beatson website provides information on head and neck cancer.
