Sleep Support

As part of our commitment to enhancing your health and well-being, we have partnered with The Sleep Project to provide all our patients with access to online webinars, live Q&A sessions with sleep experts, and sleep improvement programs to improve your sleep health and well-being. 

The Sleep Project is dedicated to enhancing patient well-being through the power of sleep. We understand the critical role sleep plays in overall health, particularly for individuals undergoing cancer treatment^1,2,3,4. Our goal is to provide tailored sleep intervention programmes that improve your sleep quality, support recovery, and manage pain. 

Sleep is essential for overall health, but following a cancer diagnosis, and throughout treatment and recovery, many struggle to get the rest they need. Studies show that up to 69% of cancer patients experience sleep disturbances, including difficulty falling or staying asleep.

Sleep deprivation can negatively impact the immune system, increasing the risk of infections and potentially influencing treatment effectiveness. With the right strategies and support, our patients can achieve better sleep and enhanced well-being. 

The sleep support plan includes four educational sleep webinars featuring some of the UK’s leading sleep experts, that cover essential topics: 

• The relationship between pain and sleep 
• Managing sleep through menopause and menopause transition
• Optimising sleep for better health 
• Discovering calm: Mindfulness and relaxation for better sleep 

In addition, patients can access the comprehensive online platform, which features: 

• 'Retrain Your Sleep': A CBT-I based insomnia program designed to effectively treat insomnia. 
• 'Sleep for Peak Performance': Essential sleep knowledge and strategies for optimal health and daily functioning. 

This service is free to all GenesisCare patients, and aims to support you in achieving longer, more restful sleep and falling asleep quicker.
