Please let’s raise awareness of this so that as many people as possible get the opportunity to complete the survey. Rolling out to most other cancer types by October 👍
Quality of life matters to everyone. A nationwide survey is asking patients diagnosed with breast, prostate or colorectal cancer how they are doing 18-months after their diagnosis. Find out how the survey helps us design services 👇 selca.nhs.uk/news/understand…
