We know that the long-term impact of a cancer diagnosis and treatment can be significant. Work is already under way to better signpost and improve access to support for those with a cancer diagnosis to improve their quality of life.
University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust is organising a Cancer Health and Wellbeing Event on Friday 19 April 2024 at Stonecross Manor Hotel, Kendal, LA9 5HP.
You are warmly invited to attend this event which aims to support patients living with and following cancer treatment, along with their families or carers.
Please drop in at any time between 10am and 3pm to browse the information stalls and talk to representatives. We would also appreciate your feedback to enable us to gain a better understanding of the challenges people living with and beyond cancer face, so we can improve the support we are able to offer to our patients.
