Individual support plans for cancer patients

Under the government’s National Cancer Plan, every patient will get a personalised cancer plan that looks beyond just treatment and diagnosis to cover the full impact of cancer on their life – from anxiety and fatigue to diet and returning to work. They will also receive an end-of-treatment summary when chemotherapy or surgery finishes – giving them clear guidance on warning signs, who to call with concerns, and where to find ongoing support like physiotherapy, counselling, or local cancer groups.
