FHFT PACT

This will be our last post for now! Hopefully we will be back in the future.

Today we are running our last session. What a two years! Here is a recap of some of our successes: we won a presentation award at 2023 BTOG. We also won a CEO challenge award for equipment to help our patients. We have helped so many patients with lung and colorectal cancer.

We will be at Wexham for the final time today. Thank you to the lung and colorectal teams at Wexham, and all the patients who we have had on this side.

It is with a heavy heart that this week we will be running our last two sessions of the PACT service. What a two years it has been. It’s been so fantastic that we have helped so many patients.

#WORLDLUNGDAY Today we unite to promote better lung health for all. This year's theme: Access to prevention and treatment for all. Leave no one behind. Let's raise awareness of the importance of lung health and take action to ensure everyone has access to the care they need.

It’s world lung day! Are you looking after your lungs? #WorldLungDay

Exercise is also beneficial for people who are receiving treatment for cancer. Professor Mieke Van Hemelrijck @MiekeVHR and experts explain how exercise can help patients respond better to treatment. youtube.com/watch?v=TOIdyS…

Had a great opportunity to speak to Prehab peers today and yesterday taking part in @George_hale98 lung Prehab dissertation focus groups. Look forward to hearing the results!!!!! Lovely to meet you @Kerry13Physio

We would be interested to connect with any other services who use digital apps regarding what platforms you use! Is there an app which has full functionality and the ability to live stream classes from? Rather than having a digital app but also using something else like teams??
