title: RCN Nurse of the Year pioneers cancer 'prehab'.
abstract: Being diagnosed with cancer is traumatic enough, but being told you will need major surgery as part of your treatment only serves to increase the sense of foreboding and trepidation. Venetia Wynter-Blyth responded by developing a programme that has proved so successful that her patients' experience of care has been transformed, and last week she was named RCN Nurse of the Year.
