THE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & TREVOR SORBIE TEAM-UP
TO IMPROVE HAIR SERVICES FOR CANCER PATIENTS
The
first of My New Hair's new, advanced,
nurse-led, training sessions has taken
place in Newcastle. Paid for by a Department
of Health grant awarded to Trevor Sorbie's
charity My New Hair, the training session,
for hairdressers who are already part
of Trevor's My New Hair Network, focused
on both aftercare relating to hair re-growth
post chemo-therapy and developing communication
with patients
Trevor commented "Anyone who has experienced
medical hair loss will know that the psychological
impact of this upon their self esteem
can be huge, having a knock on effect
on their recovery and also impacting those
who are supporting them. We know that
there is currently a big gap in aftercare,
post chemo, once hair growth has started
and we are keen to support cancer patients
at every stage of the treatment and recovery."
The Department of Health funding was given
to My New Hair to help cancer survivors,
hairdressers and NHS staff work together
during hair re-growth following treatment
and as well as additional training (a
further 4 sessions are currently planned
in Manchester, Bristol, London & Birmingham)
the grant has also been provided to support
the "My New Hair" team in extending and
expanding the programme to provide the
following: |

and Christine wear wigs as a result of
cancer treatment.
The only people that know are those they
choose to tell and they
wanted to share their secret with you.
|
1. A comprehensive resource for hair professionals
to support the education programme and help
them provide effective pre-care and aftercare
services for cancer patients
2. An educational booklet for patients and healthcare
professionals with information on hair loss,
wig services and hair re-growth
3. Additional support and training to give hairdressers
the confidence to deal with the psychological
implications and sensitivity issues surrounding
wig styling for cancer patients.
FEELING MOTIVATED & MOVED
My New Hair members are typically independent
hairdressers who feel personally motivated and
moved to work in this very sensitive area of
hairdressing. They don't just work from a salon,
some are mobile hairdressers, others work from
home and a special few have complementary skills
such as nursing or trichology.
Trevor Sorbie gives women new
confidence with his skill at making
wigs look totally natural and on trend.

Since
launching "My New Hair" in 2006 Trevor
has trained over 200 hairdressers across
the country and worked closely with many
NHS hospitals and hospices. In 2009 "My
New Hair", has inspired a new project
from The North of England Cancer Network
to review and improve wig services. This
has been heralded nationally as a ground
breaking step forward to raise the bar
for wig provision and wig services and
an NHS "toolkit" featuring My New Hair
has been provided to all NHS networks
across the country for guidance.
This unique service improvement has ensured
that patients across the North East and
Cumbria have access to the same quality
and service when receiving a wig. It also
provides patients with a choice of where
they can go, directing them to a number
of participating salons across the region,
who can supply, fit and personally style
wigs for patients. The wig and initial
styling will be paid for by the local
NHS and is available for all women who
have lost their hair for medical reasons
including alopecia. Many My New Hair salons
in the region tendered for the contract
and are helping to deliver this service
in partnership with wig suppliers.
The project came about when it became
evident, through |
patient
feedback, that there were big differences surrounding
the quality of wigs and level of services provided
in various parts of the North of England.
"This
is the beginning of what will be a challenging
but exciting journey with the NHS - we
have now helped set the precedent and
encourage the rest of the country to follow
our lead. "My New Hair" has given me a
whole new dimension to job satisfction,
using my skills to give something back
to society and do something truly meaningful,
it isn't about hair, its psychological
medicine for women who are suffering hair
loss through illness."
Trevor Sorbie, MBE Founder My New Hair
TRAINING SEMINARS
Trevor and his team are continuing to
work closely with L'Oréal Professionnel,
who sponsor the monthly My New Hair training
seminars at the L'Oreal head quarters
in London. This work is crucial to the
continuing growth of the national network
of My New Hair salons.

Trevor aims to make the My New Hair service
more local to everyone in the UK establishing
a network that can pull together, sharing their
expertise to offer a best practice service in
every region. The aim is train up to 400 hairdressers
across the country to deliver the "My New Hair"
service in salons and healthcare environments
and the Department of Health grant has made
this target more achievable.
Inspired by his own experience, helping a family
member during cancer treatment, Trevor Sorbie
launched his charity "My New Hair" as a not-for-profit
organisation in June 2006. Trevor now dedicates
all of his salon time to offering advice, and
a wig customisation service, to clients suffering
from medical hair loss.
"My New Hair" also has a dedicated website
www.mynewhair.org pin-pointing local salons
and offering tips for both clients and hair
professionals on selecting, customising and
caring for wigs.
"My personal goal is also a passionate promise,
to make this service accessible to women around
the UK and long term the world."
