Cancer Support Services Directory V3 Page 4 of 115 Review due: Jan 2012 Cancer Information Helpline 0800 226 237 Introduction
The Capital & Coast District Health Board (C&C DHB), Hutt Valley District Health Board (HV DHB) and the Wairarapa District Health Board (W DHB) has produced this Directory of Cancer Support Services to assist patients and their families, staff and other health professionals so that they can easily find the resources, services and personnel available to patients with cancer within the Wellington, Kapiti Coast, Hutt Valley and Wairarapa regions.
Our aim is to provide contact details and service particulars of professional services, voluntary groups and other agencies, which provide help and support for people with cancer.
Many of the agencies and services in this directory will send / give you further information about their services upon request. If a particular service is not right for you that provider may be able to direct you to a service or provider more appropriate for you.
It is not intended that this directory replace advice and support that can be obtained through the Cancer Society, Support Groups or Health Professionals – all of whom provide patients with ongoing personalised expert advice and support. It is a directory that we hope provides patients with useful information and service / provider options that can assist in managing their experience with cancer.
An alphabetical approach has been used in the contents page and throughout the Directory, to assist the user to find information easily. There is an index at the end of the directory to assist with finding services by name. We will review and update the Directory annually.
Acknowledgments
We wish to express our appreciation to those many people who have so readily given us information for the Directory. Their assistance enables us to bring together information on the services and support resources that contribute towards improved patient care.
In particular we would like to thank the Central Cancer Network for funding this project and the Wellington Division of the Cancer Society for sharing their knowledge and information so readily.
2011 update completed with assistance from HVDHB Maori Health Unit Student Programme.

General Practices / Primary Health Care
General Practices are part of a Primary Health Organisation (PHO). A PHO may be a single practice, but is more usually a group of practices. PHOs receive specific funding for services to improve access to health care. The aim of these services is to reduce barriers for the groups that do not have equal access to health services, in particular Maori, Pacific people and those on a low income.
Each General Practice will be able to advise what services are available to a person.
Services may include:
- Outreach nursing – has the aim of improving access to health care for high need groups Outreach nurses advise, co-ordinate care and provide advocacy and support. - Community Health Workers – assist in overcoming barriers to care through advocacy and support - Packages of Care – assistance with health care related costs - Interpreting services - Counselling - No cost transport services
Care Plus is a programme available to people with a high health need due to chronic conditions, acute medical or mental health needs, or terminal illness. A person is eligible for Care Plus if they are enrolled in a PHO and they are assessed by a doctor / nurse at their General Practice as being able to benefit from intensive clinical management in the community.
A full list of General Practitioners is available at the front of the local Telephone book. The DHB websites also list practices and costs.

The Central and Southern Regional Genetic Services are based at Wellington Hospital, with an outreach office in Christchurch Women’s Hospital. They provide genetic services to C&CDHB patients, with clinics held regularly at Wellington, Kenepuru and Hutt Hospitals plus at other major centres in central and southern New Zealand.

If a mutation is identified in a cancer-predisposition gene, at-risk relatives can be offered predictive testing. Surveillance can be targeted to those identified as having an increased risk of cancer.
