For many cancer is increasingly becoming a long-term condition rather than a terminal illness - many people recover sufficiently to be able to pick up their old lives again, therefore a focus on health and wellbeing is crucial.



Emotional effects are a normal part of the cancer pathway and early identification and intervention can prevent problems from escalating. As such, people should be able to easily access appropriate supportive and psychological care, which forms a normal part of the overall care package.



To support early intervention and ensure appropriate care and support is available, partners from across the West of Scotland have developed the Psychological Therapies and Support Framework for People affected by Cancer.
