Research summary
The National Cancer Survivorship Initiative (NCSI) was set to improve the quality of care for living with and beyond cancer. The NCSI publication, Living with and Beyond Cancer: Taking Action to Improve Outcomes (2013) outlines actions the NHS can take to improve the experience and care for cancer patients. A key outcome identified was the recovery care package which is a series of interventions which can improve outcomes for people living with and beyond cancer and reduce unnecessary hospital attendance. The cancer survivorship initiative and recovery package is widely recognised within other site specific cancers and is part of the five year NHS plan but little evidence is available for people living with and surviving lung cancer. Rotherham has a high incidence of lung cancer and I aim to conduct an initial exploration to identify what people living with and surviving lung cancer and mesothelioma want and need from a recovery care package
