Support Sessions for Patients with Breast Cancer

Moving Forward is for people who have come to the end of their hospital-based treatment for primary breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Now acknowledges that finishing hospital-based treatment for breast cancer doesn’t always mean life instantly goes “back to normal.” Many people still face emotional challenges, lingering side effects and worries about what comes next.

That’s why we’re pleased to share the Moving Forward programme from Breast Cancer Now - a free, supportive course designed to help people adjust after treatment and feel more confident, informed and in control.

✨ What the course offers:
• Two friendly, face-to-face half‑day sessions
• A safe, confidential space to talk openly (if you want to!)
• Guidance from expert facilitators and volunteers who have lived experience
• A chance to connect with others who truly understand
• A Q&A session with a local breast care nurse
• Access to expert online presentations and a Moving Forward journal for ongoing support

📍 Upcoming courses:
Scunthorpe: 19th & 26th March 2026
Grimsby: 18th & 25th June 2026

If you or someone you know could benefit from extra support after treatment, this is a wonderful place to start.

💗 It’s completely free, and patients can self‑refer and book online:

Or call: 0345 077 1893

If you’ve finished your active, hospital-based treatment, our in-person course is for you. It offers supportive, open conversations in a confidential space.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women, and over 55,000 women are diagnosed each year. Breast cancer screening saves lives, yet not all women who are invited will attend their first breast screening appointment.

NHS England has commissioned a project to better understand women's experiences and to explore how breast screening services could better meet their needs.

If you are aged 47-53, we would love to hear from you.

Please take just 5 minutes to complete this Breast Screening Survey.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6989W6R

This is anonymous and confidential and your responses will help to shape a breast screening service that respects the needs of women from all backgrounds.

The survey will close mid-February and we'd be grateful if you could share this survey with any friends, family and colleagues, especially if they are in the 47-53 age range.

Thank you for taking the time to complete and/or share this survey - your feedback will help to improve local NHS screening services.

World Cancer Day - 4th February

Today, we stand together to raise awareness, promote early detection, and support everyone affected by cancer.

At our practice, we’re committed to helping reduce the burden of cancer by encouraging:

🔍 Early detection
🛡️ Prevention
💊 Access to treatment
💜 Support for those living with cancer
💡 Better understanding of the disease

If you notice anything unusual for you, don’t wait - speak to your GP.

And please remember to attend your cancer screening when invited. Screening helps detect early signs of cancer, often before symptoms appear.

It’s never too late to make healthy lifestyle changes:
❌ Stop smoking
🍷 Cut down on alcohol
⚖️ Maintain a healthy weight
🥗 Eat well

Together, we can make a difference.
