In this video Dr Jane Clark, a Lead Consultant Clinical Psychologist at a large NHS Teaching Hospital Trust in the north of England, talks to Barbara Wilson about how a cancer diagnosis affects people emotionally and what advice she would give to families, friends and employers worried about how best to support them. She did this interview in her own time and was not representing the Trust.
The interview covers a variety of issues including why people experience a loss of confidence, and sometimes depression after a cancer diagnosis, why it’s so difficult ‘getting back to normal’ and how an employer should support a colleague struggling with the emotional impact of cancer.
