Cancer and cardiac recovery programmes

 

The Cancer Recovery Programmes is a service dedicated to helping you manage the effects of cancer diagnosis, treatment and associated side-effects e.g. fatigue, nausea, weight changes, muscle and bone changes or psychological problems.

 

The hospital’s innovative Cancer Recovery Programme, a finalist in a major healthcare award in 2007, was developed to deliver supportive care to patients leaving hospital to help them return to normal life as soon as possible.

 

Similarly the Cardiac Recovery Programme is dedicated to helping you manage the effects of cardiac disease and its management.

The Recovery Programmes are committed to improving your quality of life during and following treatment through specialist recovery support and rehabilitation.  Your programme could involve a single appointment or ongoing sessions if required. In each instance, an individual ‘Recovery Programme’ is developed specifically for your individual needs and goals.

 

The  Recovery Programme aims are to:

  • help you reduce or manage treatment related side effects
  • aid in your long-term physical and psychological recovery  
  • provide specialist individualised recovery advice and support
  • help you return to activities previously  participated in for example work, leisure, personal care.
