PARITY

The PARITY study aims to improve prehabilitation (prehab) before cancer surgery and is looking to understand people’s preferences for prehabiltation* services.

*Prehabiltation is the name given to efforts to improve health before a major healthcare event such as surgery, to improve patient outcomes.  It can include increasing exercise, changes to diet, and other lifestyle changes that can improve and enhance the recovery process.

PARITY is being led by a team of researchers based at Lancaster University.
