Cancer support
Cancer support
Support for everyday life during cancer treatment and recovery. Work on movement, energy and the activities that matter to you, with the plan adapted to your treatment and your oncology team’s advice.
A connected care plan.
The starting point
Work towards the everyday activities that matter to you around cancer treatment.
For people preparing for treatment, receiving treatment or living beyond cancer who want help with daily activities. Your diagnosis, treatment, symptoms and oncology team’s advice determine whether this support is suitable and where it should take place.
Make it personal.

What would support look like for you?
A clinician guides care. A coach helps you carry the plan into daily life. Your centre agrees the support available.
Care that fits your everyday life.
A shared plan, shaped around the person and reviewed by their clinician.
Where would you like to begin?
Movement at the right level+
A plan may combine mobility, strength, walking and balance work. Activities are adjusted around your capacity and oncology advice, including changes in fatigue or treatment-related restrictions.
Practical support for daily life+
Agree goals around the activities you value, such as moving around home or returning to work. Nutrition, fatigue management and emotional support can be considered within the care plan.
Keep your treating team involved+
With your consent, relevant observations and progress can be shared with your oncology team. New symptoms or concerns are directed to the appropriate clinician.

How does my coach help me keep going?↗
Your coach helps turn the agreed plan into everyday action: manageable goals, workable routines and conversations about what is getting in the way. You agree how to stay in touch and bring questions back to the care team. Medical decisions remain with your clinician.
Meet the coaching roleCan we discuss money or work pressures?↗
Money worries can be part of the wellbeing conversation, including care costs, household responsibilities and pressures at work. Your coach can help you organise priorities and explore practical money habits. This is financial wellbeing education, not advice on financial products.
Explore financial wellbeing supportHow does this fit my existing care?↗
Before an operation, your treating team may recommend preparation focused on function. During treatment or after discharge, support follows your medical clearance and current restrictions. Recovery is not a fixed timetable; the plan adapts to the treatment phase, symptoms and what is manageable for you.

Your questions, answered.
Can I take part during cancer treatment?
Sometimes, with your oncology team’s clearance and a suitable plan. Treatment phase, symptoms and medical risks influence whether activities should be adapted, postponed or delivered in a different setting.
What if fatigue changes from one week to the next?
Tell the team. Your capacity and symptoms help guide the plan, alongside medical advice. The response may be to reduce an activity, change the session or seek a clinical review.
What should I bring to the first discussion?
Bring the relevant treatment summary, medicines, discharge or surgery advice and any exercise clearance or restrictions. The team can explain which records are needed for your particular situation.
Clinical perspective
This is functional support alongside oncology care. It does not treat the cancer, replace chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery, or predict recurrence. Your oncology team directs medical treatment and decides when participation is appropriate.
