An innovative CPFT service to support the mental health of women with gynaecological cancers at CUH Addenbrooke’s and Peterborough City Hospitals and funded by Macmillan has been launched today.

The comprehensive psychological service, one of the first of its kind in the country, includes group and 1:1 therapies, and direct access to specialist psychology and psychiatry support for those with more complex or severe mental health difficulties.

It has been developed by experts from CPFT’s Psychological Medicine Service, which provides psychiatric care to those in acute hospitals, and the gynaecological oncology department at Addenbrooke’s, part of Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH).
