Personalised Care for Cancer
There are currently an estimated 170,000 people in the South West living with and beyond cancer. Personalised Care for Cancer services aim to help those living with and beyond cancer get the care and support they need to lead as healthy and active a life as possible, for as long as possible.
The Personalised Care for Cancer Group brings together service providers and commissioners to improve support for those living with cancer in the Peninsula.
