Updated Cancer Care Review Template

12th December 2018

Macmillan has helped develop an updated, standardised, holistic Cancer Care Review template that is built into EMIS Web. This is intended to facilitate a holistic conversation that helps people to raise issues related to their cancer or treatment that affects their quality of life. With the support of a GP or Practice Nurse, the template promotes consistency and helps patients to create a plan to address their needs and access support to self-manage where appropriate.

To enhance the existing Cancer Care Review template, there are patient information leaflet, which can be printed out and given to the patient to take away, containing useful information on how to get support, links to resources and how to access further information.

Alongside this there is guidance on eligibility for prescription payment exemption, as well as a selection of one-page information leaflets on the most reported concerns from Macmillan’s electronic Holistic Needs Assessment (eHNA). These one-pagers cover anxiety, fatigue, pain, hot flushes and trouble sleeping. These can be printed out by the healthcare professional following a cancer care review discussion.

The Macmillan Cancer Care Review template can be found in your practice Emis library cache of templates.
