WE CAN Activity Programme

What is WE CAN?

WE CAN is a virtual six week Physical Activity programme run by the Physiotherapy Team at Velindre Cancer Centre in partnership with Newport Live & NERS. It is available to any cancer patient wanting to become more physically active & enhance general health and wellbeing.

How does it work?

• Once a referral is received, patients are invited to attend a virtual pre-exercise assessment with their Physiotherapist and complete any relevant questionnaires
• Once cleared by their physiotherapist, patients will be given a password to access a variety of pre-recorded Physical Activity and Wellbeing videos on the WE CAN webpage
• Videos can be completed at an individual’s own pace & at a time that suits them
• Optional Live ‘Q&A sessions’ will be held each week- a member of the physiotherapy team will be available to answer any questions, and to facilitate group engagement
• At the end of the six weeks, patients will be reviewed by the physiotherapist before being discharged and signposted onto other opportunities with NERS and Newport Live.
