Powys Teaching Health Board and Powys County Council are working in partnership
with Macmillan Cancer Support on a three-year programme called “Improving the
Cancer Journey in Powys”.
 
The aim is to ensure that everyone living with cancer in Powys gets the right help
and support to live their life as fully as they can, by providing them with the practical,
physical, emotional, spiritual, and social support they want or need so they can
achieve what matters most to them.
This support could cover things like information on:
 
 welfare benefits
 returning to work
 making a will
 social care packages and carers assessments
 access to occupational therapy or lymphedema health services
 how to tell family members or children about a diagnosis or treatment
 dealing with tiredness, fatigue or pain management
 nutritional advice
 best types of exercise
 local support groups  
If you’ve not been offered/completed a holistic needs assessment and you’d like to
do so, please contact either PAVO or the Bracken Trust. If you are caring for a loved
one, you are also welcome to get in touch with Credu who support unpaid carers in
the county.
