A cancer diagnosis can bring many different concerns and every person affected by cancer is different.
Every cancer patient is entitled to have conversations with their healthcare professionals to discuss what matters most to them, what support needs they have and how these can be addressed. These conversations are known as an Holistic Needs Assessment (HNA, for short) and a Cancer Care Review (or CCR).
We have produced a leaflet for patients to help them understand the jargon and to feel empowered to ask for these supportive conversations. This is an important part of our work to improve the experience of people affected by cancer, which we believe is as important as clinical outcomes at this challenging time in their lives.
