Meeting the Needs of Young People with Cancer
from CANCERTALK · host Robin Daly
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.
