Healthwatch Stoke-on-Trent helps \u2028adults, young people and children speak up
\nabout health and social care services in Stoke-on-Trent.<\/p>\n

We find out what is happening and what people want from services by collecting information from:
\n\u2022 people who use services
\n\u2022 local community groups
\n\u2022 \u2028other organisations, charities and services that work with people who need support to stay safe or well.<\/p>\n

We use this information to share concerns about problems and change the way services are planned, run and monitored. We have the powers to make organisations listen when we tell them about problems and require them to say how they will change things.<\/p>\n

We at Throat Cancer Foundation (TCF) are dedicated to reducing the impact of throat cancers on society and on individuals. We are here to offer support, and want to ensure that anyone affected \u2013 patients, carers and loved ones \u2013 has access to the most up-to-date information available regarding their illness, the available treatments, and what to expect in recovery.<\/p>\n

TCF was founded in 2012 by Scottish businessman and oropharyngeal cancer survivor Jamie Rae<\/a>. Following his treatment and recovery, Jamie was concerned by the lack of resources and support available to people facing throat cancers, and established TCF to provide what was missing: reassurance and community for those facing throat cancers.<\/p>\n

Helping you take\u00a0back control<\/u><\/u><\/h2>\n

Penny Brohn UK is the leading UK charity specialising in a\u00a0whole person<\/em>\u00a0approach to cancer, known as the\u00a0Bristol Whole Life Approach<\/a>.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Our Approach recognises that, to be healthy, we need to pay attention to all parts of ourselves \u2013 our mind, body, spirit and emotions, as these are all closely connected and work together to support our immune system and its ability to keep us well. We\u2019ve helped and supported thousands of people through their experience of cancer for over 36 years and we know this approach really does work.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

We support every aspect of a person\u2019s life, helping them to build resilience and live the best life possible, whatever their circumstances. We show people how\u00a0healthy eating<\/a>,\u00a0staying\u00a0active<\/a>,\u00a0managing their stress<\/a>\u00a0and reconnecting with the things they love can make a big difference to their health and wellbeing.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Bringing together both medical advice and complementary approaches, we find the best of what works for each individual and help them find what\u00a0they<\/em>\u00a0need, to live as well as they can.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
