Do you feel concerned when your patient also has a cancer diagnosis? Are you unsure of what to do and what not to do?

It will help you feel more confident when treating someone with a current or past history of cancer and it lets you know what issues to look out for.

The guide is split into four sections:

  • Understanding cancer
  • Managing side effects, symptoms and conditions
  • Promoting physical activity
  • Red flags

It signposts you to lots of useful resources and it will help you treat people holistically, as well as know when to refer to a specialist.
