We have recently appointed a dedicated Cancer Care Co-ordinator, Sharon Cope, who will be working with communities to raise awareness of screening programmes, and how to spot early warning signs of cancer. 

A cancer diagnosis can bring many different concerns and every person affected by cancer is different.

Every cancer patient is entitled to have conversations with their healthcare professionals to discuss what matters most to them, what support needs they have and how these can be addressed. These conversations are known as an Holistic Needs Assessment (HNA, for short) and a Cancer Care Review (or CCR).

You can find out more about this from the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer Alliance website
