As part of the review, we don’t just want to build a new centre, we want to use the opportunity to look at the services to see if we can make any changes that will improve outcomes or improve the experience of patients.

We don’t just mean in terms of appointments being on time and improved communication, we want to look at how the service works at each stage of treatment, and whether it is working as well as it could.

We want to hear from head and neck cancer patients, their families and carers

We want your involvement in the way the head and neck cancer pathway is organised – how all the pieces fit together, the journey of appointments and treatment patients go through after receiving diagnosis and being referred to Mount Vernon.

We want to make sure we understand how you see that journey, if there is anything you think works really well, and if there is anything you think we might want to change to make it better for patients, based on your experience, as well as what the most important things would be for you if you were designing a new head and neck cancer pathway.

Please are your experience, views and ideas using the tabs below.
