NHS and Macmillan team up at
event for people affected by cancer
SOUTHPORT and Ormskirk Hospital NHS
Trust is joining forces with Macmillan Cancer Information at a free health and
well being clinic in Southport on Thursday, 9 July 2015.
The event at Southport Theatre and Convention Centre is an opportunity to find
out how to access local support, information and advice to help patients and
their families adjust to life with and beyond cancer. It will run from 4pm to
6.30pm.
Jackie Brunton, the Trust's Cancer Services Manager/Lead cancer Nurse, said:-
"We're delighted to join forces again with the Macmillan Cancer Information
and Support Service, building on the success of previous health and well-being
clinics. We would also be delighted to welcome friends and family to come along
as we understand how a cancer diagnosis affects not just the person with
cancer."
Cancer nurse specialists will be on hand to offer advice and support along with
local organisations including Sefton Active Lifestyles, local benefits advisors
and Sefton/West Lancs Carers Support.
Information on fitness, walking groups, diet, benefits, stopping smoking, and
carers' support will also be available as well as the opportunity to talk to
other people living with and affected by cancer. Refreshments will be provided
and interactive sessions will include:-
► A presentation on the benefits of physical activity
during and after cancer.
► A tai chi taster session.
► Mini make up classes from Boots No. 7.
► Healthy food demonstrations.
► Hand massages from Sefton OPERA (Older Persons
Enabling Resource and Action).
Barbara Flowers, Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre Manager, said:-
"We understand how patients can often feel they lose the safety net of support
they receive while attending the hospital regularly for treatment. These events
are designed to help people to return to everyday activities and make the most
of the good things in their life. If you have any questions, we are here to
help."
Places are free but limited, booking is essential. For information or to book a
place contact Helen, Barbara or Sarah at the Southport Macmillan Information and
