New video produced for Shropshire cancer patients
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support have launched a new video to provide more information and support to local people living with cancer.
The Living Well video provides patients with an opportunity to hear from other people living with cancer as they reflect on their experience and learn what ‘Living Well’ means to them. It also provides patients with the opportunity to receive accurate and clear information about the four most commonly highlighted concerns of people affected by cancer; emotional wellbeing, diet, fatigue and physical activity.
The video has been produced as part of The Macmillan Living With and Beyond Cancer Programme. The programme is a £350,000 project funded by Macmillan Cancer Support hosted by The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) which runs the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford. The Trust is working in collaboration with Macmillan Cancer Support, Telford and Wrekin CCG, Shropshire CCG, Powys Health Board, Telford & Wrekin Council and Shropshire Council.
The programme aims to enable and empower patients to take an active role in their cancer care to help them recover as fully as possible and live life as well as they can with cancer, throughout their treatment and beyond.
