Booklets and leaflets for professionals
All of the CCLG booklets produced will be of interest to professionals working with families of children and young people with cancer. All publications are free though if you are ordering booklets from overseas we may charge for postage costs.
We are keen to hear about other booklets/leaflets for patients and families of children with cancer that have been published locally or of plans to produce new sources of information, whatever the format. Contact us if you can help with this.
