CANCERTALK explores the potential of Integrative Medicine to improve the lives of those with cancer. Hosted by Dr Penny Kechagioglou, Clinical Oncologist and Robin Daly, Founder and Chairman of Yes to Life, this occasional podcast will feature guest Practitioners from the world of Integrative Oncology - which in plain English means a broad, holistic approach to cancer care that includes support for body, mind and spirit.
Over her distinguished career, Claire Taylor MBE has been at the forefront of the development of cancer nursing, bringing her interest in personalisation and continuity of care to the role, and introducing many new aspects to cancer nursing that have significantly improved the experience of patients before, during and after treatment. Her leadership in the development of nursing in colorectal cancer was acknowledged with the award of an MBE. In this episode she reflects on her achievements and speaks about the current drive to deliver further personalisation through initiatives to move supportive care for cancer out into the community, and to improve accessibility to and increasing range of lifestyle interventions.

Meeting the Needs of Young People with Cancer
With personal experience of cancer when only twenty-four and a career built around cancer care in the charity sector, Julie Worrall, Interim CEO at The Teenage Cancer Trust, is ideally suited to understand the very specific needs of young people unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with cancer. While radical change is desperately needed right across the sector to broaden the scope of cancer care beyond administering treatments, young people have fared particularly poorly when it comes to having their needs met, needs which are very specific to their age. The Teenage Cancer Trust is on a mission to change that, and has played a significant part in the inclusion of specific plans for young people in the National Cancer Plan for the first time.
