A West Midlands healthcare Trust is looking for therapists to help cancer patients at an annual pampering event.
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBH) is appealing for the professionals to take part in their Cancer Wellbeing day.
It will provide a host of therapies, advice and information to hundreds of local people and their carers who are living with cancer.
Sara Connor, Cancer Nurse Specialist, at the Trust, which runs City and Sandwell Hospitals, said: “This is a really great event that aims to offer emotional and practical wellbeing to patients living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis.
“The day gives patients and their carers the opportunity to discover a range of cancer wellbeing services that are locally available, all under one roof.
“The benefit of relaxation and physical therapeutic interventions is effective in promoting positive wellbeing. That’s why the pamper sessions, such as hand and head massages, prove to be so popular.
“Due to the popularity of the event, we are in need of extra help and we hope we can get local pamper therapists on board to make this event successful.”
The event has become a fixture in the calendar of many local people, and was originally set up as a means of providing extra support in addition to the medical treatment provided to cancer patients and their carers.
This year, the team is seeking experienced therapists who are willing to volunteer their time and expertise to provide pamper sessions to patients and carers.
The event will be held at West Bromwich Football Stadium on Saturday July 6 from 9.30 am to 3pm.
Anyone able to offer their services or would like to find out more about the event, can contact Jenny Donovan or Ian Charles on 0121 507 2618.
