What impact has COVID-19 had on those living with Cancer?
Pre COVID-19, most consultations took place in the hospital. Now many patients are consulted over the phone or a video call. While some prefer to talk to their cancer team from home others miss visiting their teams in person.
A questionnaire has been created by the patient representatives of the Somerset, Wiltshire, Avon & Gloucestershire Cancer Alliance because they are keen to know what it felt like having a cancer consultation during the pandemic.
The information that patients give, will be anonymous and only used by the NHS. The questionnaire will take no longer 5 minutes to complete.
It is hoped that the survey will help SW Alliance better understand how greater use of remote consultations has impacted people living with cancer.
If you or someone you know has been affected by the impact of COVID-19 on their cancer appointments, please complete or share the survey.
Note - SW Alliance is seeking views from patients living in Somerset, Wiltshire, Avon, and Gloucestershire.
Swindon is part of the Thames Valley Cancer Alliance, therefore is not listed. Apologies for any confusion.
