First point of contact for the media
The Press Office at The Royal Marsden handles all media enquiries and requests for information from journalists.
We understand media deadlines, can help you develop your stories, and can quickly identify and contact the most appropriate spokesperson.
Royal Marsden staff are advised to refer any direct approaches from journalists to the Press Office, so it is quicker to start here.
We are happy to discuss possible feature, photographic and programme ideas, and will do our best to co-ordinate appropriate interviews, photography and filming requests.
Patient confidentiality
We place a strong emphasis on the need for strict patient confidentiality. We will not divulge
any information about a patient unless we are given permission from the individual or their next of kin.
How to contact us
The Press Office is open from 09:00 to 17:30, Monday to Friday.
