Enhanced Hygiene Protocol

At Cancer Hair Care we regularly work within NHS chemotherapy clinics and therefore are used to following hygiene procedures. Due to the Coronavirus situation we have taken enhanced measures with our packs.

At Cancer Hair Care we are delighted to have developed a range of services to support teenagers and young people with hair loss due to cancer treatments. We deliver several services including bedside visits to our teenage and young patients in hospitals such as UCLH.

Our Cancer Hair Care Specialists and Advisors have developed a unique approach that deals with the psychological and physical needs of our young patients as they face hair loss. We support young people to find individual and holistic approaches to dealing with their image change.

We are also delighted to connect young people with helpful services such as The charity Little Princess Trust  who provides male and female children and young people up to age 24, a free human hair wig. Their service is very bespoke and ideal for young people.

Our services to support children, their parents (carers) and cancer support staff who work with children are unique. Our specialist team have developed therapeutic play techniques that help children to navigate the complex cancer and hair loss journey.

As well as phone or zoom consultations (in hospital services at UCLH hospital) we provide FREE Specialist dollies and activity packs, hats and other helpful items.

Our unique knitted topsy turvy dolly helps children to understand hair loss through play. The dolly has hair on one side and no hair on the other. Each dolly comes complete with little hats and scarves for children to play with. Dollies are available in multiple skin colours. Each dolly is health and safety checked. Contact us to order your FREE dolly, support packs and consultations.

Please support our work with children and teenagers

We urgently need to focus on support to help children and teenagers with cancer through our pioneering in-hospital and on-line services. With the funding we currently have in place we estimate that only a quarter of the young people who need our support will receive it. With this in mind and in line with the’ International Charter of Rights for Young People with Cancer’ may we kindly ask that you consider our service as an urgent call for support. Donate Now
