These mental wellbeing videos have been developed by Maudsley Learning, in collaboration with Takeda UK Ltd, with input from relevant patient organisations including EGFR+ UK. They have been created to help cancer patients and their families manage the psychological impact of cancer.

The videos cover a variety of topics including breaking bad news, managing anxiety, common reactions to diagnosis, and relationships.

This initiative has been fully funded by Takeda UK Ltd.
