what is a swann appointment?

Hi all, just wondering if  anybody has been given a SWANN appointment and if they know what it's for? i've been on google but im just finding cctv stuff  however i did come across  a lot pages refering to the swan  scheme which is talking about end of  life  care,  im now really concerned because my  mum is only halfway through her radiotherapy for cervical cancer and reading these pages have made me sick to my stomach...any info   anyone has or suggestions would be really appreciated

  • Hi there and sorry you are feeling so concerned. It might help if you could give us more context, maybe the aconym is something to do with the hospital, such as the name of the clinic or the name of the specialist? It isn't something we are familar with. Are you in England or one of the devolved nations?  I'm sure we can get to the bottom of it but please don't be concerned that it relates to end of life care as that isn't likely from what you've said.
