Have you,
or a loved one,
been affected
by cancer?
Health and care services in Buckinghamshire would like your help to
ensure we are delivering the best possible care for our population –
which means it is vital we hear from residents who have experienced
cancer treatment.
NHS Aylesbury Vale and NHS Chiltern Clinical Commissioning Groups are working with Macmillan
Cancer Support to invite people with experience of cancer to give their views in a new online
survey.
Everyone’s experience of cancer is different. For us to give the best possible care and support we
need you to help us understand what that looks like to you and how you think we should provide it.
Because you have been through it, you are best placed to tell us what works, what can be improved,
and what specific cancer support should be available to you within the Bucks area.
Things may not change overnight, but if your experiences have left you with ideas of what would be
good for patients in Bucks – whether improving an existing service or offering new kinds of support
– we want to hear from you.
We know that being given the all-clear does not always mean the end of cancer and a return to
normal living. It’s vital that when treatment stops you still have the right support to get back on your
feet, deal with the consequences of your experience and know how to spot signs if cancer should
return.
Whether you are currently undergoing treatment, are now living after treatment, or if you have
watched a loved one go through cancer, please let us know your views.
Comment boxes have been distributed at a range of locations across Bucks including some GP
surgeries, libraries, support group venues and many others.
You can complete the full survey via the link below. All details will be kept strictly
confidential.
