Health and Wellbeing events - be part of the conversation

Health and Wellbeing Events are a key component of the Recovery Package and are vital in enabling health or social care providers to deliver outcomes for people affected by cancer.

Health and Wellbeing Events are all about education and information. They support people living with and beyond cancer, their carers and their families to take control and participate in their short and long-term recovery, giving them necessary information and promoting positive lifestyle change.

What is a Health & Wellbeing event

A Health and Wellbeing Event is supportive event to help prepare people affected by cancer, their carers, and their family and friends for the transition through their cancer journey. The event brings together a range of service providers from health, social, community and voluntary sectors.
