Launch of new partnership
21 February, 2014
Bringing ‘Living Well’ cancer services to Hull
Penny Brohn Cancer Care has been supporting people living with the impact of cancer for over 30 years from their National Centre in Bristol.
Following a successful pilot programme of Living Well courses across the region, Penny Brohn Cancer Care are now working in partnership with City Health Care Partnership CIC to deliver a programme of ‘Living Well’ courses and ongoing support to cancer patients and their supporters in communities across Hull; with the first course in the city being launched at the Endsleigh Centre in March 2014.
The ‘Living Well’ course offers peer support, self-help tools and enables those diagnosed with cancer and their supporters to explore which lifestyle choices are right for them. The courses are open to anyone with a Hull GP.
‘Living Well’ attendees have the opportunity to:
- Find out about eating well to enhance their health
- Learn simple techniques to help them relax and manage their stress
- Discover which physical activities can benefit them
The first three-day ‘Living Well with the impact of cancer’ course will begin on Thursday 13 March at The Endsleigh Centre, 481 Beverley Road, Hull HU6 7LH.
For more information please call the Penny Brohn Cancer Care helpline on 0845 123 23 10 or visit www.pennybrohncancercare.org.
Angie Orr, senior operations manager, End of Life Care at City Health Care Partnership CIC said, ‘We are delighted to be supporting the Living Well courses, which we think will be very helpful for people living with cancer and their carers, allowing them to find strategies to live well with their disease and take back control of their lives.’
