Abstract |
|
|
| The Quality of Life Group is typically a collection of oncology specialists, psychologists and support workers dedicated to
improving the Quality of Life (QoL) of paediatric, adolescent and young adult cancer patients. The Group usually aims at improving
patient care by:Identifying areas where patients are suffering, identifying areas where service provision is lacking, direct patients towards
appropriate intervention(s), educate health practitioners about the whole needs of the patient, support family and friends so that they can
play an active role in patient care, develop and administer interventions that improve QoL and coordinate allied healthcare and
community support professionals to build a coherent, patient-focused, support network for patients and their families. |
