PTSD and cancer

In this video, Dr Susanna Petche, GP, explores PTSD and how to recognise it. This recording will help you recognise if you might suffer from post traumatic stress because of your cancer diagnosis and/or treatment and learn some simple strategies that can help start you on the path to recovery. You will have more understanding of how post-traumatic stress can affect you and know where and how to find more support if you need it.

Dr Susanna’s approach combines her 20+ years of clinical medical experience with both academic and personal knowledge of stress and psychological trauma, together with training in lifestyle medicine and functional medicine, to empower people to make lasting changes to improve their health and wellbeing. In addition to her private work, she divides her time as a GP between a busy A&E department and an NHS Urgent Treatment Centre. She also teaches at a Medical School, both undergraduate and postgraduate, and has given many lectures and seminars on the impact of psychological trauma and burnout on healthcare professionals, and communication within the workplace.
