The Living With and Beyond Cancer (LWBC) programme provides personalised support and care for cancer patients from diagnosis to recovery and beyond. It aims to help individuals manage the physical, emotional, and practical aspects of living with cancer, ensuring they are well-informed, supported, and empowered to live well throughout and beyond treatment.
This programme sets out the Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance plan to improve patient experience and cancer outcomes in Cheshire and Merseyside:
•Providing personalised care and support planning and interventions, including delivering more and better cancer services in the community.
•Extending personalised stratified follow up care, including patient initiated follow-up, to all appropriate cancer pathways.
•Reducing the impact of cancer and its treatment, including improving support for people’s psychosocial needs, encouraging physical activity across the cancer pathway and prehabilitation and rehabilitation services.
•Ensuring a positive experience of care and support.
