\u201cIf it is the result of an IT error, why did it take nine years to come to light? Might we find the same problem with, for example, people who have diabetes not being invited for annual eye screening to detect retinopathy? Might there be people going blind because of an IT mistake?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe NHS has a hard job to do and a lot of promises to keep. But if it\u00a0is\u00a0offering regular, free tests and screenings to many different groups of people, there should be a single IT solution in place \u2013 preferably a national one \u2013 which doesn\u2019t take nine years to reveal its faults.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Dani Binnington is a yoga teacher, wellness expert, and founder of healthywholeme.com<\/a> Binnington is a survivor of breast cancer and urges other women to get to know their body, telling FitPro, \u201cRegardless if you are invited to a breast cancer screening or not, I firmly believe that being breast aware is the most important thing. Get to know your body, what is your normal, and contact your GP as soon as anything feels or looks different.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Pictured above: Dani Binnington<\/em><\/p>\n If you are working with clients who have been affected by breast cancer, Binnington has the following advice for trainers, \u201cWhen working with women affected by breast cancer, it\u2019s important to meet the client exactly where they are at. Breast cancer treatments vary enormously and so do the side effects. Whatever you do, don\u2019t generalise. Some women can plough through work and keep up exercise regimes, others are riddled with fatigue. Become extra vigilant in listening to your client to know exactly what she wants to achieve. Also, nobody wants to be pitied. Instead, encourage your client to work hard and point out even small progress. This can make them feel hugely empowered and hopeful at the same time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Mary Huckle, the founder of Breakthrough Fitness<\/a> and a breast cancer survivor, shared her reaction to the news, \u201cPrimarily, my thoughts are with all the women affected and, in particular, with those families who\u2019ve lost loved ones. No amount of money will ever compensate for the loss of a wife, daughter, sister or mother, caused by what can only be called a dangerously grave administrative error. I can only hope that the inquiry will shed some light on to the matter. In the meantime, I urge women of all ages to check their breasts and surrounding areas regularly for any changes and visit their GP if they were to discover anything unusual.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Team FitPro has been touched by Mary\u2019s incredible attitude to life, and she continues to deliver sought-after classes and apt advice.
