The idea for thisisGO.ie was born in September 2020 when the team at The Living Well Cancer Programme based in the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital (MMUH) met for the first time.
This programme is part of the Irish Cancer Society’s Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), the aim of which is to improve health and wellbeing for women impacted by cancer who are dealing with the side effects and consequences of treatment.
The Living Well Cancer Programme is a two-year project funded by the Irish Cancer Society with the support of the Health Service Executive (HSE), The Mater Private Network, The National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP), Breakthrough Cancer Research and Pfizer Ireland.
The WHI will focus on women impacted by breast and gynaecological cancer over the duration of the two year grant.
The Dublin site has named the group “The Living Well Cancer Programme” with the help of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI).
The team is led by Professor of Gynaecological Oncology at University College Dublin, Donal Brennan. The team also comprises two Clinical Nurse Specialists; (CNSs) Aidin Roberts and Louise Comerford, Clinical Research Fellow, Dr. Fionán Donohoe and Research Coordinator, Yvonne O’Meara.
The team is working on a number of projects over the two years. At all stages of the programme there is a strong PPI component.
