His role will help the charity to deliver a personalised model of care for every client and has been made possible thanks to a grant from the Linbury Trust. It comes a er Wessex Cancer Trust commissioned a large piece of research into what local people needed most from cancer support. Experts heard from over 500 people who have any type of cancer at any stage; loved ones a ected by cancer, and major stakeholders including local hospitals, local authorities and other charities. e ndings highlighted the importance of emotional support and that everyone has di erent needs, concerns and feelings, and therefore a unique approach to care is needed. Every client accessing the charity’s services will now have an opportunity to talk to Phil about their individual concerns and needs, who will then create a personalised support plan with them. Using this model, clients will be able to access the combination of services that best suits them, remotely for now and face-to-face when its four support centres can reopen. e charity also plans to expand its support groups, workshops, and courses on areas such as nutrition, sleep, and wellbeing. Colette Cowan, Wessex Cancer Trust’s Head of Service Delivery, said: “We know that over 100,000 people are living with cancer in our region and that everyone’s journey through cancer is different. This requires a unique approach to care and as a local charity we have the freedom and flexibility to evolve our services. Never has that been truer than during COVID-19 when we were forced to temporarily close our four support centres and quickly set up telephone helplines, moved services online so we can continue to provide the support people rely on. So, I am really excited that, thanks to the Linbury Trust, we’ve been able to welcome Phil to the team. His role will take the care we provide to a much deeper level and ensure clients benefit as much as possible from their time with us. We’re still very much the charity people know and love and always promise to be welcoming, friendly and supportive - whether you’re chatting with our trained befrienders, using our Daisy Bus to get to your hospital appointment or having a complementary therapy.” Phil added: “Cancer doesn’t just affect people 9-5, so we’ll be working even harder to ensure that the care we provide can be accessed by as many people as possible, away from a clinical environment. We’ll also be able to direct our clients to other partners who we think will be able to provide more specialised care, one example being financial support.” For information about the support and guidance Wessex Cancer Trust can provide visit their website: www.wessexcancer.org.uk Wessex Cancer Trust Wellbeing Coordinator, Phil Warner ILLNESS SUPPORT ONLINE Anyone living with a chronic or life limiting illness can join a monthly online support group run by the Oakhaven Wellbeing team.
