Pre-habilitation

Prehabilitation supports people living with cancer to prepare for treatment by promoting healthy behaviours and lifestyles by prescribing exercise, nutrition and psychological interventions based on a persons needs.


Following the launch of the Cancer Quality of Life Survey and dashboard, the Peninsula Cancer Alliance has identified Prehabilitation and Rehabilitation as a priority area for 2022/23.
