We are pleased to be able to provide a number of safe closed Facebook groups for patients carers, their family as well as for Healthcare Professionals.
These groups facilitate the opportunity to talk to others in similar situations as well as ask questions and share information. You will be in a safe environment with others who have also been touched by kidney cancer and these closed Facebook pages are here to help patients through pier support groups and the knowledge and guidance of our Healthcare Professional team. All our pages are safe environments and monitored by the team at Kidney Cancer UK & Scotland along with specially selected and trusted moderators. Please take special note that to join any of these groups you must answer all the questions before you are approved to join, this is to ensure the members in the groups should be there for the right reasons. If you fail to answer the questions your request to join will be declined.
