On 4 February, we’re acknowledging World Cancer Day, and the theme “United by Unique”, which recognises that every person’s cancer experience is different – and that care works best when it’s shaped around each individual.
Cancer is more than a medical diagnosis – it’s deeply personal. Behind every diagnosis is a unique story of grief, pain, healing, resilience, love and so much more. Person-centred care means listening, communicating clearly and responding with compassion – it leads to a better experience and better outcomes for all.
Every experience with cancer is unique – and in honour of that we decided to share some of the amazing feedback that our community has given our Cancer Service. United, we look beyond the disease and see the person before the patient, placing people and communities at the centre of our health system.
This World Cancer Day, we acknowledge everyone in our community affected by cancer, and we say thank you to the families, carers, volunteers and health workers who walk alongside them. 💙
