Education The Internal Carers project has recently been launched through the School of Oncology and aims to provide Christie carers with an opportunity to come together and ask questions within an online forum. The first online session was on 22 nd September and the intended audience was Christie carers of newly diagnosed patients.

The issues covered through the forum include; · Becoming a Carer; What does a carer do? · Cancer professionals: who are they and how they can help you.

· What to expect from the first appointment, and future appointments with the clinical team · Understanding the impact of Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy and other forms of cancer treatment. · Complementary Therapies for carers · The impact of caring · Survivorship and long term caring Following the success of the event in September, we will be running 5 further sessions in 2023 for other Christie carers.
