Cancer Survivorship - Empowering People

Giving survivors the skills, support and confidence to take control of their lives.

Cancer has affected two million people in the UK and is increasing by 3 percent each year. Cancer survivors need both physical and psychological care after the stress and turmoil they conquered, however traditional focus has been on the initial treatment, and with such an increase in number of cancer survivors, modern cancer survivors find it hard to get the post-treatment care they require.

Things are improving, with more and more health professionals also looking into care for patients after their treatment, however the majority still insist on basic, repetitive care for cancer survivors. The healthcare system need to shy away from the “one size fits all” approach to post-treatment patient care they have grown familiar with and meet the individual needs of each cancer patient.

HSJ offers a Cancer Survivorship Supplement which presents a variety of specially tailored articles to help cancer survivors take control of their lives. Articles range from organisations helping cancer, professional views and studies, real-life stories about patients and how they coped with cancer, specific studies on illnesses and how they are approached and what the future holds for cancer survivors.

This is a vital resource for anyone who cares for cancer patients and survivors.

Health Service Journal is the UK's leading source of news and information on health management and policy. Targeted at healthcare professionals, it is an integrated online resource and magazine.
