About this listen

Personalised care is fundamental to delivering better quality care that is meaningful to the individual, supporting improvements in health and wellbeing. This will also help to empower people to manage their care and the impact of their cancer. Everyone is different and will have different concerns when they are diagnosed with cancer; therefore we need to ensure that patients are treated as people and they have the opportunity to discuss all of their concerns, whether during a hospital appointment or with their GP, and get the support they need.

In Greater Manchester, we have a large programme of work looking at all aspects of personalised care, and this new series of the GM Cancer Podcast will look at some of the specific areas that we’re working on.

This episode looks at Holistic Needs Assessments – what are they and why are they so important?

In this episode you will hear from:
Lydia Briggs - Clinical Lead for Personalised Care - Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance
Collette Kelly - Macmillan Lead for Personalised Cancer Care at the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
Mick Connelly - patient rep
