We are sad to announce the passing of our dear friend Ron.
He rose to so many challenges sent his way with his positive and cheery disposition.
Ron was such a massive part of Headstart, he will be greatly missed and
we shall endeavour to soldier on in his absence.
Thoughts are with Rons family and friends.
Rest In Eternal Peace Ron, it was a pleasure for us to know you.

Head & Neck Cancer health professionals are placing more and more emphasis on the well-being
and aftercare of patients once their treatment is over. It’s quite easy to think that once everything
has been completed, well that is the end of that. However, it doesn’t always work out like that. Cancer patients
have to maintain their well-being, by ensuring that they continue to look after themselves.
Quite recently we had a talk on oral care and fitness techniques to suit all types of people and their abilities.
The subject of mindfulness to help our mental attitudes has been discussed, and these themes will continue
during the course of the year. It’s extremely important to be aware how important it is to look after
one’s mind and body. These techniques and other related topics will be revisited for sure in the coming year.
Ann Payne from the Macmillan Centre in Queen Victoria Hospital has a number of very watchable videos on a
number of topics concerning well-being and aftercare. To view them go to our
Headstart news page to play the videos. We think you will find them most interesting.
