Jackie has helped create a programme of peer-to-peer community support alongside expert care at Future Dreams House, a dedicated breast cancer centre, with the goal of preventing patients facing breast cancer alone or without hope.

Menopause is a pivotal time for women to reflect on their future health and well-being. This presentation explores how HCPs can inspire and support women to embrace lifestyle changes as part of their menopause self-care toolkit.
