Here are two different tools you can use when carrying out a Cancer Care Review.
Tool number 1:
The Holistic Needs Assessment (HNA) and associated care plan is a simple way of finding out what really matters to the person with cancer.
An HNA ensures that people’s physical, practical, emotional, spiritual and social needs are met in a timely and appropriate way, and that resources are targeted to those who need them most.
An HNA is a simple questionnaire that is completed by a person living with cancer. It allows them to highlight the most important issues to them at that time, to inform the development of a care and support plan with their nurse or key worker. The questionnaire can be completed on paper, or electronically (eHNA).
Watch this short video showing a practice nurse carrying out a CCR with a patient using the HNA tool.
Find more information about using the HNA tool and support with addressing concerns identified in the patient concerns checklist.

Tool number 2:
National standardised Cancer Care Review templates have been developed by Macmillan and made available in EMIS Web, TPP SystmOne and INPS Vision. These care plans are not always patient-led, but the information will be read-coded. Click here to find out more.
