What Lee has achieved in 2 years is phenomenal 🤩From attending a pain mngment prog, setting up peer support groups, getting funding from @Sport_England, becoming a trained healthcoach, to raising awareness across the UK. Your trailblazing is doing Sheffield proud @lvaughan1974
Lee Vaughan (@lvaughan1974) has lived with chronic pain since his teens.
Now a health coach, he explains why it’s so important we equip people with the skills to manage their conditions effectively.

Loved seeing all the #exerciseoncology content from #ACSM24. So many amazing professionals across the world working together to improve cancer care through movement
🔔 We have a new blog piece! 🔔
We've popped up Beth Brown's wonderful piece on physical activity is not offered as part of cancer care in the UK - and how that should change📚

15% of cancer patients report being referred to an exercise program. We need to do better. At @UPMCHillmanCC we've instituted an approach that has netted close to 50% of patients receiving and accepting an appropriate referral....

Well worth a watch for anyone interested in physical activity in cancer pathway and leadership! Had the pleasure of visiting during my time in Canada, home to the world’s largest exercise oncology implementation study. Take away message ‘your ego is not your amigo’ 😀
@marlizedv@movemoresheff@NCSEM_PAnews@SHU_AWRC@JoMaher8 @SheffCouncil1 @bbchealth@BBCBreakfast Indeed! BUT the decommissioning for traditional GP/ex referral (which have low uptake/adherence) can’t be blamed. We need to connect people to opportunities (that’s often already available) their community and skilled professionals - as we are working on in Sheff
@christheeagle1 A lot is said about the waiting list but not much about the consequences -UK is one of worst developed countries in terms of cancer survival rates
Symptoms of #oesohagealcancer are too often dismissed as heartburn, resulting in late diagnosis and devastating consequences. Raising is vitally important
📢February is #OesophagealCancer Awareness Month. This cancer is found anywhere in the oesophagus, sometimes called the gullet or food pipe.
We'll be sharing signs/symptoms to look out for, and some facts about oesophageal cancer to help raise awareness this month.
What features make an exercise program for those living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis successful?
