Powys Teaching Health Board and Powys County Council are working in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support on a three-year programme called “Improving the Cancer Journey in Powys”.

The aim is to ensure that everyone living with cancer in Powys gets the right help and support to live their life as fully as they can, by providing them with the practical, physical, emotional, spiritual, and social support they want or need so they can achieve what matters most to them.

Cancer is classed as one of the Big 4 diseases within the Powys Health and Care strategy.  In Powys there are just under a thousand people a year diagnosed with cancer.  With improvements in cancer care treatment and drugs, it is now often the case that people are living longer, and well, with cancer, and, as a result, it is important that their health and well-being needs are met.
