Cancer support

Cancer support

Care for the parts of life affected by cancer and its treatment: movement, energy, confidence and everyday activity. Your oncology team’s plan remains central, with functional support shaped around your treatment phase and individual needs.

The starting point

Support everyday function and participation before, during and after cancer treatment.

For people preparing for treatment, receiving treatment or living beyond cancer who want help with functional goals. Suitability depends on your diagnosis, treatment, symptoms and medical clearance, with specialist advice guiding the level and setting of support.

01 / Your goal

Make it personal.

02 / Your plan

Keep it connected.

03 / Your next step

Review it together.

What support can look like.

Your programme is shaped around your health, preferences and clinical needs.

01

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.

02

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.

03

Continuity with your treating team

Relevant observations and progress can be shared with your oncology team, with consent. New concerns are directed to the appropriate clinician rather than treated as a training problem.

Your journey

Small steps.
A clear direction.

  1. Assessment

    Review your treatment plan, medical clearance, symptoms and functional goals. Select assessments that are appropriate for your current condition.

  2. Your plan

    Agree the type and level of support with your clinical team, including precautions and how the plan may change around treatment.

  3. Practice

    Work on manageable activities with guidance, adapting sessions and any home practice to your symptoms and medical advice.

  4. Review

    Reassess relevant function and everyday goals. Share findings with the treating team and agree whether to progress, maintain or change the plan.

Make progress
personal.

The right measures help the team understand whether the plan is useful and what should happen next.

How measurement works

Working with your hospital

The right care, in the right place.

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.

Our referral approach

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.
