TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST, BUT STRONG PEOPLE DO

In his professional life, Chris spent 30 years with NatWest Bank but switched management roles to the NHS working for another 14 years in Primary Care.

Throughout his life and particularly in retirement, he has been involved with a range of charity work focussed on supporting others whether it be with the Scout Association, Rotary International, Volunteer Driving, Dementia Care or various community organisations, where helping others has always been part of his philosophy.

In retirement however he was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer then more recently Prostate Cancer. Both “journeys” have provided him a greater insight from the consumer’s perspective of navigating the incredible services offered by all health care providers.

Knowing both the cofounders of the Topic of Cancer well, their original aims have inspired Chris to be involved with the launch of the Cancer Chat Café, which hopefully will provide additional support to those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

Chris will also be involved in helping gauge the interest in this new project and as we said in our publicity article “it’s good to talk” and often a problem shared is a problem halved.
