The Recovery Package is a collection of interventions which form part of an overall support and self management package for people affected by cancer.
The Recovery Package is recognised in the NHS England Five year Forward View (link) and the Cancer Task Force Strategy (link) which outline a commitment to ensuring that "every person with cancer has access to the elements of the Recovery Package by 2020"
Macmillan in the Midlands will influence and support those responsible for the roll out and delivery of supported self-management through the implementation of the Recovery Package for people living with cancer in the Midlands.
The Macmillan Corporate Strategy 2018-2023 (link) focuses on the 'triangle' elements:
- Assessment and care planning
- Treatment summary and cancer care review
- Health and wellbeing
The 'circle' elements are important for patients and partners to support self management:
- Managing the consequences of treatment
- Physical activity and healthy lifestyle
- Information, financial and work support.
