Naam Medical social work

Our medical social workers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute have a lot of experience and expertise in oncological care. They are specialized in psychosocial problems related to cancer and are available to support patients and their loved ones. Consultations with a medical social worker aim to stabilize or strengthen the capacity, coping with anxiety, uncertainty, mourning, and loss. You can visit a medical social worker if you have questions of a psychosocial or practical nature. Patients' loved ones are also welcome to visit us.

You can make an appointment at the recommendation of your physician, nurse, or other health care professional at the Netherlands Cancer Institute.

You can find us at the Survivorship Center at clinic 4.

Sunday observance at the Glass Room

Every Sunday morning at 10.30, we hold a short prayer service at the Glass Room at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. This meeting/service is a moment of peace with piano music, silence, prayer, and words from the past about our time. This service is available for all, including family and loved ones.

Our volunteers will ask you if you are interested in the service. If needed, they can bring you to the service in your bed or wheelchair. If you are unable to attend, you can follow the service on your iPad in your bed.

Prayer and quiet areas

At the main entrance, next to the reception desk on the ground floor, you can find our prayer room and a separate Islamic prayer room. All rooms are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
