Ms Tyler, who is an ambassador for the charity at the cross-party Welsh Assembly group for cancer, told Frontline: ‘I have been recognised for my work in flagging up the need for all cancer patients in Wales to receive person-centred, supportive care.
‘I am calling for greater awareness of patients’ needs, to be able to live well after cancer treatment, whether that’s long-term survival or end-of-life care.’
She added that she was unaware of other physios in Wales who have been given this award, which is open to all Macmillan staff.
