Maggie's Lanarkshire

Welcome to Maggie's Lanarkshire

Maggie's Lanarkshire interim service is now open at Wishaw General Hospital and offers a range of Maggie’s support services to help provide the tools to build a life beyond the disease. 

Lorrie Forsyth, Centre Head for Maggie’s Lanarkshire, said “I am delighted that we have a base in Lanarkshire where Maggie’s can welcome anybody affected by cancer through the doors, to access free of charge emotional and psychological support and practical information. We hope that Maggie’s will become a key resource for the cancer community in Lanarkshire.”

Judith Hope, General Manager for NHS Lanarkshire’s Women's, Cancer and Diagnostic Division, said: “The interim service is a welcome addition to cancer services in Lanarkshire and will offer patients and their families valuable support and advice".


Visitors to Maggie's Lanarkshire will be able to speak to a Cancer Support Specialist, Clinical Psychologist, take part in a group session such as a relaxation class, browse through the library, book an appointment for benefits advice or simply drop-in for a cup of tea and a chat. 

Plans for the purpose built centre uniquely designed by Reiach and Hall are taking shape at Monklands Hospital.
