This study day focuses on the role of cancer rehabilitation in improving outcomes, restoring function and supporting quality of life for people living with and beyond cancer. It brings together leading clinicians to explore how rehabilitation can help patients regain independence, manage the effects of treatment and achieve meaningful recovery across different stages of the cancer pathway.

Through expert-led sessions, the programme will look at practical, evidence-based approaches to rehabilitation, with discussion around the challenges of managing complexity and supporting patients with a wide range of physical and supportive care needs. It also highlights the importance of multidisciplinary working in delivering safe, effective and person-centred care.

What will be covered?

The programme will explore several important areas of rehabilitation in cancer care, including approaches to fatigue and symptom management, the role of nutrition in recovery and wellbeing, and key clinical safety considerations that can affect rehabilitation planning and delivery.

Attendees will also look at metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) updates and wider safe practice considerations, alongside evidence-based approaches that can support recovery and rehabilitation more effectively. The study day is designed to help professionals apply learning to real clinical settings, with a focus on improving outcomes and supporting patients in a way that is both practical and person-centred.

A strong emphasis is placed on how different professional groups can work together to support patients more effectively, making this a relevant event for those involved in multidisciplinary rehabilitation, supportive cancer care and service development.

Who is it for?

This event is suitable for a range of professionals with an interest in cancer rehabilitation and supportive care, including:

  • Nurses.
  • Allied health professionals.
  • Students.
  • Academics and researchers in oncology.
  • Anyone with an interest in cancer rehabilitation.

It may be especially relevant for those involved in helping patients manage symptoms, rebuild function and recover well during or after cancer treatment.
