Full description:
This project will aim to understand how people with lung cancer in Scotland experience changes in their functionality and what factors influence how they make decisions to seek or forego help for ill health. We will explore how socioeconomic hardship and/or geographical remoteness might affect these decisions. We will work to empower participants themselves to engage in self-monitoring and decision-making that will help them take positive action to look after their health.
Opportunity Deadline

Cancer survivorship puts emphasis on the health and well-being of people affected by cancer. In cancer survivorship, health providers monitor and manage changes that people experience, from cancer diagnosis to end of life. We undertake world-leading research that establishes survivorship care as a vital service for people affected by cancer, one that is driven by their priorities and expectations for enhanced wellbeing and quality of life.
