Children under 16 who received NHS cancer care during 2021 are being invited to take part in the Under 16 Cancer Patient Experience survey.
The NHS wants to hear from children and young people, and their families, about their experiences so it can continue to improve the care and services.
A diagnosis of childhood cancer understandably has a devastating impact on the emotional health and wellbeing of the child and their family, both during and after treatment. Children and young people’s treatment and experience of cancer differs greatly from adults and we recognise the need for a personalised approach to their cancer care.
It’s so important for us to listen and learn from children and young people in order to provide them with the best possible care and experience throughout treatment and to reduce the impact it has on them later in life.
The Under 16 Cancer Patient Experience Survey will inform how the NHS delivers cancer services with the aim to radically improve the outcomes for children and young people affected by cancer.
If you receive an invitation in the post please complete the survey.
