Those affected by Cancer invited to complete survey

People who have experienced cancer are being invited to take part in a questionnaire to help improve services on Island.

Current cancer services are being analysed as part of the Health and Care Transformation Programme’s work to design future care pathways.

The online survey invites views on the various stages of care, from initial diagnosis through treatment to discharge and follow-up care, and is open to all who have used services, including families and friends of patients.

A wide scope of questions asks what happened at each stage and how the person felt treated as an individual. 

The qualitative aspect of the survey aims to find out whether patients understood information they received when diagnosed, if their views were taken into account when treatment options were explored, and later, if they were directed to support organisations.

The closing date for responses to the Cancer Service Users Questionnaire is Friday, November 13.
