Parenting with Cancer Conference 2024
The first Parenting with Cancer conference was a huge success, demonstrating that difficult subjects can be discussed in gentle but inspiring ways. It was a mix of academic, clinical information and family stories.
Have a browse through the conference programme, or view the amazing graphic that captured the key moments. Anyone who wants to sponsor the next one, please get in touch!
resources
We are growing this bank of resources to support health and social care professionals to support their patients around their family needs. Get in touch if you have a good resource and we will share it here.
The Talking, Telling and Sharing Framework: End of Life.
Excellent evidence-based resource to help communicate with children when their parent is at the end of their life. (Family-Centred Cancer Care Conversations. Ulster University. C. Semple et al.) For videos and more support, click here.
Here is our postcard to give to patients. When you download the file the reverse gives all the information (email us if you’d like us send you some in the post).
