Whatever kind of cancer, and whatever stage you’re at – we're here with you.
Many of our staff are NHS-trained and all our Cancer Support Specialists have expert knowledge about cancer and treatment.

The car parking team will allocate some spaces for Maggie’s visitors in Car Park 6 and spaces for people with mobility issues in Car Park 4 (next to Ward 1).
To access the centre by car, please drive to the Telford Road hospital entrance, follow the road to the right and speak to the parking staff at car park 6 entrance, who will advise if there are spaces.
If there are no spaces, the staff will redirect you to the 2-storey car park at the main hospital entrance.
