The Primrose Foundation would like to invite patients who have received breast cancer treatment at The Primrose Breast Care Centre, University Hospitals Plymouth to join our NEW patient forum, The Pink Primrose Panel.

Meetings will be held tri-monthly, and each session will be led by our charity manager and supported by patient volunteers. You will be invited to openly discuss how together we may be able to create positive changes to benefit local breast care services and families affected by breast cancer.

This will be a safe and friendly space to provide positive ideas and thoughts. Please note that we cannot discuss your treatment or provide any medical advice. The purpose of the group is to discuss constructive and optimistic ideas and thoughts ONLY regarding potential opportunities and projects that will allow us to support our local breast care services and those living locally affected by breast cancer.

If you have been a Primrose patient and would like to join our exciting NEW patient forum and help create positive changes, please contact us today.

Meetings will be held at Hearts Together Hospital Hotel, 7 Blunts Lane, Plymouth. Our first meeting will take place on Friday 25th October from 10-12pm and will continue to run on the last Friday of the month, tri-monthly.

FREE parking and light refreshments will be available to everyone.

If this sounds like something you would like to be part of and you wish to get involved, please contact us on info@primrosefoundation.org or call (01752) 975217.
