All cancer services now run “Living Well” events for patients affected by cancer. 

Following cancer treatment patients are encouraged to attend a half education and information group session run by a range of health care professionals.

The events provide an opportunity for patients and/or carers to receive information and learn more about important aspects of caring for themselves, including information about:

• health and wellbeing
• recovery and rehabilitation
• education in self-management
• signs and symptoms of recurrence
• reducing risk factors
• managing side effects of disease and treatment
• diet and exercise
• emotional wellbeing
• anxiety and stress management
• financial advice
