Personalised Care Episode 3: Treatment Summaries
Manage episode 423132631 series 2967001
Personalised care is fundamental to delivering better quality care that is meaningful to the individual, supporting improvements in health and wellbeing. This will also help to empower people to manage their care and the impact of their cancer. Everyone is different and will have different concerns when they are diagnosed with cancer; therefore we need to ensure that patients are treated as people and they have the opportunity to discuss all of their concerns, whether during a hospital appointment or with their GP, and get the support they need.
In Greater Manchester, we have a large programme of work looking at all aspects of personalised care, and this new series of the GM Cancer Podcast will look at some of the specific areas that we’re working on.
This episode looks at Treatment Summaries, a document given to patients to alleviate their concerns and help them feel more confident discussing their own treatment with their GPs.
The guests on this episode are:
Helen Wrench - Macmillan NCA lead nurse for personalised care for cancer
Sarah Sykes - lead Macmillan colorectal nurse based at the Oldham Care Organisation
Jacqueline Jackson - patient
