In this episode, host Steve Bland and Femi Odewale, the MD of the North East London Cancer Alliance, take the pod on the road as they visit Maggie's Barts and explore the fantastic free support that is available for cancer patients to help them both prepare for, and recover from, their cancer treatment.

Guest speaker: Victoria Curran, Centre Head, Maggie's Barts

Victoria leads the team at the wonderful Maggie’s Barts service, which provides warm, friendly support for cancer patients in a calming and relaxed setting. She is passionate about helping cancer patients through their treatment and has worked with North East London Cancer Alliance on a prehab video to help explain the benefits to patients. 

Victoria provides an overview of her role and the support that is available at Maggie’s. The episode covers a wider look at prehab and its three core elements of diet, physical exercise and mental health and wellbeing. It looks at the benefits to patients of prehab and how all cancer patients can access these vital services across north east London.
