This framework aims to provide Strategic Health Authorities (SHAs), cancer networks, Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) and NHS Trusts in England with advice on how to organise services for mesothelioma patients in order to improve standards of care to a uniformly high level across the country.
The mesothelioma framework discussion document is being issued for a 7 week consultation.
It includes advice on:
- Configuration of services
- Clinical management, care and support
- Underpinning programmes such as information, research and audit
It also includes a number of consultation questions on which your views would be particularly welcome.
The uptake of this advice (once finalised) would not be mandatory but its adoption could make a substantial difference to mesothelioma patients and their families.
