An evaluation of the National Cancer Survivorship Initiative test community projects: report of the baseline patient experience survey (20th January 2010)
43% of cancer survivors responding to a recent survey conducted by the Picker Institute Europe said they would have liked more information and advice, 75% did not have, or did not know if they had a care plan and 75% reported not knowing who to contact for advice out of hours.
So, whilst it’s extremely encouraging to note that 85% of patients said their follow up care was ’excellent’ or ‘very good’, there is clearly much work to do ensure all receive care that is truly patient-centred.
