South West Radiotherapy Late Effects Service

While cancer survival rates continue to improve, a significant proportion of patients experience long-term side effects from treatments following radiotherapy. These late effects – such as bowel and bladder issues, fatigue, and pain – pose a significant challenge for cancer survivors, often resulting in long-term physical and emotional difficulties that impact their quality of life. We welcome Dr Lisa Durrant who will talk about the Southwest Radiotherapy Late Effects Service (SWRLES) which was launched as a two-year pilot, funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and supported by the SWAG Cancer Alliance. The SWRLES aim is to support people living with long term effects caused by radiotherapy treatment to have prompt access to local and regional services.
