Cancer care reviews: a solution to delivering personalised care

Cancer care reviews: a solution to delivering personalised care
Personalised care

Pages: 52 - 56

Increasing cancer survival rates and evolving models of care require primary care teams to adapt their practice to meet the needs of people after a cancer diagnosis and completion of treatment. The needs of people after a cancer diagnosis are often complex and require a person-centred, holistic model of care. The ‘NHS Long Term Plan’ sets out the ethos of
personalised care for those living with long-term conditions (LTCs), including cancer. Interventions to support personalised care include cancer care reviews (CCR) in primary care. Recent Quality Outcome Framework guidance for CCR has aimed to personalise the intervention to improve patient experience. General practice nurses (GPNs) are well placed to deliver CCR but need access to education to feel confident and develop competence in this area. There are several resources that have been developed to support CCR as a personalised care intervention. These interventions need further evaluation to assess their impact on patient experience and outcomes.
