Project Description
In Yorkshire, over 14,000 people die from advanced cancer each year, a number expected to rise to 17,000 yearly by 2030. In the weeks or months before they die, people with advanced cancer often experience pain, breathlessness or fatigue-exhaustion, which significantly reduce quality of remaining life. Our programme will directly improve the health status and symptom experience of Yorkshire patients living with advanced cancer and support their families. We will achieve this by (1) recognising early those who need help, (2) implementing regular assessment and monitoring of symptoms and other concerns, (3) providing better management of the most challenging symptoms.
