Youth support coordinators provide vital help to people with cancer in the 13-25 age group, from diagnosis until up to two years post-treatment

The need for specialist practitioners and services to work with patients aged 13-25 has become increasingly recognised, and charities, working alongside the NHS, have been integral in developing specialist care for young people.
