Informative videos, interviews, and interactive video sessions
In our recent survey, you told us how we can help you navigate the coming weeks of self-isolation.
You said that you want the latest information for ovarian cancer patients and to know what it means for you or a loved one. You’d also like extra support and advice on how to keep your mind busy throughout these uncertain times.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with our friends at Ovacome to deliver our Staying Connected programme, designed to help our community to feel connected, supported and informed.
We appreciate that many members of our community will now be staying at home to protect the health and safety of both themselves and those around them. Working together, we feel that is our responsibility now to ensure that there are ways for the ovarian cancer community to stay in touch and continue to empower themselves with information about how they can support their personal health and wellbeing.
Our Staying Connected service will include informative videos, interviews, and interactive video sessions where you can speak to experts directly and ask them your questions. The service will be really easy to use and we’ll have staff at the ready to help anyone with questions.
If you’d like us to keep you up to date with this advice, information from clinicians and tips on wellbeing during this difficult time please sign up here.
