| Annotation | The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) publication "Guidance on cancer services: improving supportive and palliative care for adults with Cancer: the manual" identified barriers in service provision for patients and carers. This report describes the methods used to develop and test a national specification for the assessment process in supportive and palliative care, and presents the underlying philosophy and principles on which it is based. It also sets out the framework employed to develop the detailed guidance for healthcare teams. Annex 1 notes the interface with current and future policy initiatives: the Integrated Cancer Care Programme; Skills for Health; Connecting for Health (including the Do Once and Share programme, DOAS); the Common Assessment Framework (CAF, building on the Single Assessment Process, SAP); and the End of Life Care Initiative. Annex 4 outlines the methods used to develop item content for domains of need, and lists tools identified in the original scoping exercise. (RH). |
