Rediscover the joy of learning in a “community for the curious”

Co-founded in 2020 by Kelly McCabe and Morgan Fitzsimons, Perci is on a mission to challenge misconceptions about life after cancer treatment while improving things for those living the reality. 

​

Since their launch in July 2021, they have already had over 550 customers go through their programmes, with reports of immensely enhanced wellbeing amongst patients.

 

In recent years, huge advancements have been made in the screening and treatment of cancer. With early diagnoses, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. Approximately 60% of those diagnosed will live for 10+ years, with many leading long healthy lives before passing away from something else entirely. While this rapid innovation is undeniably fantastic news, there is still a gap in the support offered to those beyond cancer treatment. That’s where Perci Health comes in.

 

Co-founder Kelly describes Perci Health as “an online platform designed to support people with a cancer diagnosis in dealing with the wider impact of cancer on their life and wellbeing.” Perci’s network of experts ranges from nurses and psychologists to dieticians and physiotherapists, all of whom are focused on aiding recovery long term. Customers are offered 1:1 care in “virtual clinics”, making every stage of the support feel personalised.

 

Perci Health is striving to ensure cancer is better managed as a long-term condition, in much the same way as an illness like diabetes might be. Cancer patients can often go from having daily or weekly support to nothing at all, at a point when they still have hundreds of questions. While charities such as Macmillan are incredible at providing this sort of support, Perci wants to go further in optimising the quality of life for those diagnosed as time goes on.
