Patient Support App

Deepika and Russell

As a cancer patient, newly diagnosed, you may find yourself overwhelmed with leaflets, booklets and information sheets. This works well for some patients, however, if you prefer to browse information in a digital format, then the brand new patient app may well be for you.

The Breast Cancer Kent patient app has been designed by Deepika Akolekar and her colleague Russell Burcombe working closely with their colleagues consisting of Consultants and Nurses at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells Trust and funded by Breast Cancer Kent.

Patients can e-mail questions to two breast cancer specialist nurses, contact their nursing or chemotherapy team direct from their phone and set reminders about upcoming treatments. The team hope to add more content as treatments evolve. Download the app from the links below.
