Shape up 4 Cancer Surgery in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support is a free exercise, nutrition and wellbeing programme that aims to improve the health of patients undergoing cancer surgery at Leeds Teaching Hospitals.
Working in partnership with Active Leeds, the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett University, the programme helps people prepare for and recover from surgery through the provision of guided physical activity, nutrition and psychological wellbeing support. This is the first partnership of its kind in Leeds.
A cancer diagnosis can be an incredibly stressful time for all involved and our specialists know that there are many positives to having good preparation, or ‘prehabilitation’.
