Abstract

The Moving On Programme (MOP) was developed as a specific intervention to fill an identified service need. This programme was piloted and analyzed by previous research and this paper outlines the process and challenges of introducing the MOP to become part of standardized cancer care.  Any adaptations that were required due to the global COVID-19 pandemic restrictions are outlined.  Health economic analysis outlines the cost of the MOP and participants’ evaluations are presented.  MOP has the potential to be far reaching in its appeal and could easily be transferred to other regions.
