Professor Nick Hulbert-Williams inaugural lecture: The psychology of living with and beyond cancer – from theory to the real world

An ethnic woman wearing a headscarf and fighting cancer sits on the couch with her mother. She is in the foreground and her mom is behind her, with her arm wrapped around in an embrace, and they're both looking out the window in a quiet moment of contemplation.

Cancer diagnosis and treatment have a profound emotional and psychological effect that may last well beyond the end of treatment into long-term cancer survivorship.

During Professor Hulbert-Williams career he has shifted from testing psychological theories claiming to help us understand the psychological impact of cancer to intervention-based research focused on real world results.

During his Inaugural talk, Professor Nick Hulbert-Williams will give a brief overview of how his early theoretical modelling developed into a series of clinical trials to test psychological interventions to improve the psychological wellbeing of those living with and beyond cancer.
