A national Cancer Quality of Life Survey has been launched to help us understand what matters to patients. From July 2021, all patients diagnosed with cancer in England are being invited to complete the survey around 18-months after their diagnosis.
National and regional-level reports will be made available through the Cancer Data website.
It is important that as many people in Cheshire and Merseyside as possible complete their survey so that the information collected fully represents our cancer population.
The resources below have been developed to help you promote awareness and uptake of the Cancer Quality of Life Survey.
Communications Toolkit for Cheshire & Merseyside
This toolkit is designed to support stakeholders when promoting and sharing information about the Cancer Quality of Life Survey with patients, carers and members of the public. It is suitable for use by organisations such as NHS Trusts, Primary Care Networks, local support groups, and charities.
