What is the PINC programme?
Physiotherapists trained and specialising in the pinc programme support, guide and rehabilitate people through every stage of their treatment and recovery.
PINC is more than just helping people after cancer, it is about giving hope, strength and courage. There are now more people surviving a cancer diagnosis, but they can face an increased risk of extended health problems, premature mortality and harsh side effects from their treatment. The Pinc programme help people navigate the difficult world of cancer treatment so they can minimise the side effects of the treatments and encourage them to have the best quality of life they can.
