| Five Key Shifts |
- a cultural shift in the approach to care and support for people affected by cancer - to a greater
focus on recovery, health and well-being after cancer treatment.
- a shift towards holistic assessment, information provision and personalised care planning. This
is a shift from a one-size fits all approach to follow up, to personalised care planning based on
assessment of individual risks, needs and preferences.
- a shift towards support for self-management. This is a shift from a clinically led approach
to follow up care, to supported self-management based on individual needs and preferences. This
approach empowers individuals to take on responsibility for their condition supported
by the appropriate clinical assessment, support and treatment.
- a shift from a single model of clinical follow up, to tailored support that enables
early recognition of the consequences of treatment and the signs and symptoms of
further disease, as well as tailored support for those with advanced disease.
- a shift from an emphasis on measuring clinical activity, to a new emphasis on measuring
experience and outcomes for cancer survivors' through routine use of Patient Reported Outcome
Measures in after care services.
