    • Embedding prehabilitation in cancer care: From guidelines to delivery

      Embedding prehabilitation in cancer care: From guidelines to delivery
      Feb 18 2026
      In this episode, we explore the newly published Macmillan Prehabilitation for People with Cancer: Clinical and Implementation Guidelines and what they mean for the future of cancer care. We’re joined by June Davis, Lead Nursing and Allied Health Professional Adviser at Macmillan Cancer Support, and Laura Massouh, Consultant Anaesthetist and Medical Lead for Prehabilitation at Royal Berkshire NHS Trust.

      Together, we unpack what prehabilitation really involves, the evidence underpinning it, and how it can improve outcomes for people affected by cancer. We also discuss how prehabilitation services are being delivered on the ground, including the ongoing work to improve equity of access across the UK. Finally, we look ahead to what’s next - from workforce development to the evolving skills, knowledge, and expertise needed as prehabilitation becomes increasingly embedded within cancer pathways.

    • From knowing to doing: Cultural responsiveness in cancer care

      From knowing to doing: Cultural responsiveness in cancer care
      Feb 4 2026
      In this episode, we explore what cultural responsiveness really looks like in cancer care - beyond policies, buzzwords, and tick-box training. We’re joined by Judith Neptial from From Me To You – The Art of Survival and Israel Eguaogie from iAssist Northern Ireland, who share powerful lived experiences alongside practical, real-world actions that can transform patient care.We explore how power, privilege, language, and trust show up in our interactions with people affected by cancer and how healthcare professionals can respond differently. Our guests break down what culturally responsive practice looks like day-to-day: asking “what matters to you?”, providing meaningful language support, working in partnership with community-led organisations and embedding accountability into care.

      Content warning: This episode contains conversations about lived experience of cancer which some listeners may find upsetting or triggering. Listener discretion is advised.
