Quality of life

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 are now available through the Cancer Data website.

It is important that as many people in Thames Valley 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

The below presentation has been designed by the Quality of Life team to support stakeholders in promoting the Quality of Life Survey. The information has been collated with patients, members of the public and carers. It is suitable for use by NHS Trusts, Clinical Commissioning Groups, Primary Care Networks, local support groups and charities.
