The Life and Cancer – Enhancing Survivorship (LACES) workshop is for adult patients who have finished their active cancer treatment and are beginning their long-term follow up. This includes patients who are post-surgery, radiation therapy, the acute phase of their chemotherapy treatment and patients with advanced cancer, who have discontinued treatment or who are on ongoing treatment. The workshop allows patients to access appropriate information and signposting to improve their quality of life after cancer. The focus is on health and well-being, enhancing the use of community supports and survivorship programmes. Delivering workshops using online platforms, commenced in June 2021.
