#hello my name is Hannah Heayn and I am the specialist nurse for Teenagers and Young Adults who have a diagnosis of cancer. I cover Cornwall from Treliske Hospital and I work 18.75 hrs, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and every other Friday.
The aim of the Teenagers and Young Adults (TYA) service in Cornwall is to provide age appropriate cancer treatments and facilities for patients aged 16-24 years. We want to support you holistically in any way we can and want to engage with you and your support network so that you receive what you want and need from our service.
