COPES AIMS (Support, Education, Raising Awareness & Research)
Our main aim is to support women with a gynae cancer diagnosis, through events, chat (online and in person) and education plays a big part in what we do – educating women about the signs and symptoms of gynae cancers at talks and in the media. We also try to support the hospital gynae oncology teams with equipment and resources, paying for the little extras over and above the standard NHS provision. Our latest purchase was noise cancelling wireless headphones for the CNS team to be able to speak to patients without undue noise on the phone. Have a look on our website for more information.
Our Support Group Coffee Mornings will be at The EKCO Sports and Social Club each month from April for the immediate future. This is due to changes in some arrangements at the hospital. We welcome all guests who have been diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer. There will be no medical advice given at these sessions. However, we can point you in the right direction if you need further advice. We work closely with the medical team at Southend and Basildon Hospitals and our exec. committee meet with them on a quarterly basis.
