Specific components will be introduced to address the needs of this particular population group.

In addition to the exercise component, recreational and social elements to the programme, topics that will be included are:-

1. Healthy living advice (alcohol, diet, exercise, sun awareness)2. Return to work 3. Role of Occupational Health Physician or Nurse4. Financial issues5. Insurance6. Advice on recognising recurrence7. Accessing more information and support service for testis cancer8. Coping with life after a serious illness – how to be positive9. Fertility

As part of the exercise component, participants will wear a pedometer for the 6 weeks the rehabilitation programme takes place. They will record readings in an exercise diary each night. In addition they will record daily exercise activity.

Each of the components will be delivered by a specialist in that field. In addition, the course will be lead by co-ordinator with background experience in cancer rehabilitation.
