The large majority of the 228 members of RAGE (Radiotherapy Action Group Exposure) have severe and complex conditions for which they are getting little or no clinical support and treatment. This project set up 15 national pilot clinics to test whether a multi-disciplinary team of health professionals could assess the needs of those with this complex condition, produce a care plan and identify local support. OPM Principal Dr Chih Hoong Sin and OPM Fellow Jean Taylor contributed to the data analysis and the report. This was part of the NHS Improvement workstream of the National Cancer Survivorship Initiative, led jointly by the Department of Health and Macmillan Cancer Support. The National Cancer Action Team are leading on further development of this recommended model.
