At GM Cancer Alliance, we are committed to ensuring that every person living with and beyond cancer receives support that is tailored to their individual needs. Personalised care in primary care focuses on putting patients at the centre of their care, recognising that everyone’s experience of cancer is unique.
By working closely with GPs, practice nurses, and wider primary care teams, we aim to provide patients with the right information, support, and interventions at the right time. This includes proactive health and wellbeing conversations, personalised care planning, and better coordination between primary, secondary, and community services.
Our goal is to empower people to take an active role in their recovery and long-term health, improving both quality of life and outcomes. Through personalised care, we can help ensure that patients not only live longer, but live well.
The Cancer Care Review
A Cancer Care Review (CCR) is a holistic conversation between a patient and a member of the GP Team about their cancer experience and the impact it has had on their life.
The Personalised Care team is working with GP practices across GM to provide resources and education to improve the delivery of these reviews, thus improving the patient experience.
Cancer Care Coordinators in Primary Care
The workforce and education team piloted the role of the cancer care coordinator in 9 PCNs across GM.
