Do I have to pay for the classes?
All LJMC services are offered free of charge to patients under the care of an NHS oncologist based at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre.
The Relaxation Classes at the LJMC are funded by voluntary donations. Any contributions towards the cost of the service are therefore always gratefully received.
Private patients having treatment at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre may also be eligible to use our services. Please call the Helpline for details.
