Teresa's presentation judged the best at BPOS conference
Teresa Young's presentation at the 2010 annual conference of the British Psychosocial Oncology Society (BPOS) was judged the best of the bunch.
Battling snow, delays and even a fire at the station, Teresa and the other delegates made their way to Chester for the conference at the beginning of December.
The theme for the conference was 'Cancer and relationships with others', highlighting the impact of cancer on patients and their partners in their daily lives, relationships and key roles.
Teresa's presentation provided an insight into the development of the spiritual wellbeing measure for palliative care patients, a Quality of Life questionnaire which is now in its final phase of testing.
The conference committee judged Teresa's presentation to be the best, presenting her with the Walker Trophy, a silver quaich, making her the latest in a long line of prestigious winners.
