Professor Claire Foster is Director of the Macmillan Survivorship Research Group and lead of Cancer Survivorship and End of Life Care Research Theme in the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Southampton. Claire’s research focusses on understanding the impact of cancer and its treatment on everyday lives and how equipped people feel to manage this. She is developing and testing a number of interventions, including web-based resources, to support people to self-manage cancer related problems and make difficult decisions regarding treatment and genetic testing.

I am passionate about understanding how people are affected by cancer and its treatment and developing resources to support them to make difficult decisions and manage problems for themselves.

The Macmillan Survivorship Research Group [MSRG] programme focuses on supporting people affected by cancer, including understanding patterns of recovery following cancer treatment, supporting self-management of cancer related problems following cancer treatment and supporting people with a family history of breast/ovarian cancer.

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.

Claire is a member of the NCRI Psychosocial Oncology Clinical Studies Group. Claire is a member of France's Institut National du Cancer, Evaluation Committee for Early Breast Cancer.

Current projects

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:

CREW: A UK prospective cohort of colorectal cancer patients to map restoration of health and well-being

RESTORE: Development and testing of an online intervention to enhance self-efficacy to live with cancer related fatigue in the year following primary cancer treatment.

The team work closely with people affected by cancer as Research Partners in the development and conduct of research projects

Research project(s)

Incidental findings (IFs) from genetic tests: exploring the ethical issues and implications for practice

This research fellowship aims to gain an empirical and ethical insight into the experiences and attitudes of healthcare users and professionals towards incidental findings from genetic testing, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Development, implementation and evaluation of the True NTH Supported Self Management and Follow Up Care Programme

Traditional follow-up care for men with prostate cancer is resource intensive and there is little evidence to show that it effectively meets men’s needs. This project is developing, implementing and evaluating a new model of care, which provides men with the knowledge, resources and support to self-manage their own follow-up.

Understanding and perceptions of mindfulness-based interventions and development of an adapted mindfulness intervention for breast cancer patients

Living with breast cancer can cause considerable suffering, and for many the fear of recurrence of the cancer can cause anxiety and depression that can last for a long time after the initial diagnosis. Mindfulness-based meditation can be helpful and involves learning a set of techniques that enable people to focus or live in the moment. The standard mindfulness course consists of 1 session a week for 8 weeks lasting between 1½ - 2½ hours, with an additional one day 6 hour retreat, with 45 minutes homework per day. This can be difficult for breast cancer patients to commit to if they are working, have children and if they are undergoing treatment. In this study we plan to find out from patients how we can adapt the course to suit them, and then design and develop it in partnership with patients and leading experts in the field of mindfulness.
