 In this episode we are joined by Dr. Jennifer Corns, senior lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Glasgow. We explain what we mean by ‘agency’ and how suffering can significantly disrupt a person's sense of control and autonomy. Jennifer explores how we can prioritise forms of agency to achieve person-centred care.

Jennifer shares practical insights into minimising disruptions to agency and creating opportunities to enrich it, for people living with cancer.
Through real-life examples and thought-provoking discussion, we bring these ideas to life and show how understanding and nurturing agency can transform the way we care.
