Claire Foster
I am Professor of Psychosocial Oncology and Director of the Macmillan Survivorship Research Group [MSRG] in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Southampton. My research programme focuses on supporting self management by people affected by cancer, including supporting self management of cancer related problems following cancer treatment and supporting people with a family history of breast/ovarian cancer. I am particularly interested in supervising doctoral students on these and related topics.
The Macmillan funded MSRG research programme is designed to inform the development of more efficient and effective services to support survivors and enhance their return to fulfilling lives through:
i. A GB wide prospective cohort of 1000 colorectal cancer patients to map restoration of health and well-being over time
ii. An online survey to assess self efficacy to self manage cancer/ treatment related problems following primary treatment
iii. Development and testing of an online intervention to increase self efficacy to self manage cancer related fatigue in the year following primary cancer treatment.
Other projects include feasibility studies involving lung cancer patients funded by Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, work to develop web-based decision tools to support women diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age facing decisions about surgery and/or genetic testing funded by NIHR Research for Patient Benefit Programme and Breast Cancer Campaign.
For further information about the MSRG programme and related projects see www.soton.ac.uk/msrg.
