Holistic Needs Assessment
This section describes the Holistic Needs Assessment. It introduces the tools available to help staff gain a better understanding of what concerns you may have and what matters to you. This will support the development of an individualised care plan, in partnership with your health care professional, to better meet your needs.
Holistic Needs Assessment - Concerns Checklist
It is not a requirement to complete this checklist; however, it is a useful tool to understand what support you may need. Completing this and returning it to your team will instigate your Holistic Needs Assessment.
If you have already received a code from your team, click the link to access the Macmillan HNA 'MY Care Plan' to start completing your assessment.
What matters to me
The information you provide in the questionnaire will help us understand more about you and how we can best support you as you go through your cancer journey. This information will be shared with your clinical team and contribute to your Personalised Care and Support Plan.
This is not something you need to share with your clinical team - it is for you to think about how to move forward after looking at all of this information and hopefully joining our online discussion group. This is your opportunity to decide how you are going to look after yourself emotionally, in terms of diet/exercise and services you may decide to engage with.
