| Moving On Project 2009/10 |
In September 2008 a National research study commissioned by Macmillan Cancer Support
revealed that there are currently estimated to be 2 million people living with or
beyond cancer. The report suggests that these figures are likely to have doubled
by the year 2020. The report also suggests that the needs of many of these 'survivors'
are not being met.
The Moving On project explored with current survivors what support services are
available to patients to help them move on with their life after cancer or whilst
living with the disease and what support services they and/or their carer(s) would
like to see made available to them.
During the project a questionnaire was developed to help explore what support
services patients have accessed, what they would like to see made available
and how and where they would like to access information on support services.
We then held focus groups with patients and / or their carer(s) to explore in
more depth patient and carers support needs.
Finally we ran and evaluated a series of 5 invitation workshops to
cover the Yorkshire Cancer Network area designed to inform and enable
cancer patients and to sign post them to potential areas where they
could access further help and support. For each of the 5 workshops
a Moving On Booklet was produced which contained Local, Regional and
National information regarding where to get further help and support.
Please see the full reports below for each stage of the project.
