Patient Support - General

The Foundation has established a Parents' Club, based at the Family Service Centre, that facilitates contact and promotes communication with and between patients' families. Membership, currently standing at over 700, is free.

The Foundation also provides other general support services in the form of liaison between patients, their families and the hospitals in which they receive treatment. For example, in helping the Prince of Wales Hospital's Children's Cancer Centre out-patients clinic re-organize their childhood cancer patient files, patients' waiting time at the clinic is now considerably reduced.

Foundation representatives meet with paediatric oncologists, neurologists and radiation oncologists from the five major public hospitals every four months with a view to identifying patients' needs, ensuring quality of service, and promoting better co-operation and understanding.
