Rest is not Best: Cancer survival through Active Living

There are currently over two million people living with cancer in the UK. The number of survivors is increasing annually due to better detection methods and more effective anti cancer treatments. However the number of cancer survivors doing enough physical activity to gain health benefits is surprising low.

In this talk, Dr Anna Campbell will explain how much activity is effective and what benefits it can provide to all cancer survivors.

Dr Anna Campbell is a lecturer in Clinical Exercise Science at the University of Dundee. Over the past ten years Anna has specialised in researching the role of exercise in cancer survivorship. As part of her work she has established the first city wide cancer rehabilitation programmes in Glasgow and Dundee for women with cancer and provided exercise consultations for hundreds of cancer patients and survivors

Anna is a key member of Macmillan’s Physical Activity Expert Advisory Group for Cancer Survivorship and works with a number of other cancer charities in an advisory capacity. Anna enjoys running and cycling to keep fit and active.

Tickets are available from the Events Office, tel: 01382 385564 or from the University's Online Store.
