| Annotation | This guidance has been prepared in response to Key Recommendation 2 in "Guidance on cancer services: improving supportive and palliative care for adults with Cancer: the manual" (National Institute for Clinical Excellence, NICE, 2004). The guidance is for practitioners and managers providing or co-ordinating care of adults with cancer, to enable a unified approach to the assessment and recording of patients' needs. It is designed for healthcare teams to employ as a benchmark against which current local processes of assessment can be appraised. This document sets out the main features of the holistic assessment and provides the core content of the assessment. (RH). |
