Pushing for the best possible cancer care in Cardiff and The Vale

Cardiff and the Vale published a well-received ‘Living with Cancer’ report in April. The report highlighted the positive feedback we received from people regarding their care, and Velindre Cancer Centre has issued a letter of thanks, along with an Improvement Plan to address some of the outcomes of the report.   
 
The actions set out in the Improvement Plan covered areas of real importance to people receiving care, from:  

• Passing on the positive feedback we received from people regarding their care.  

• Re-opening the cafe.  

• Improving communications with people receiving care.  

• Helping people have blood tests closer to home rather than only at the treatment centre.  

• Ensuring people didn’t get lost in the gap between the hospital and the GP surgery. 

  
Many of the recommendations detailed in the report have been completed already.  This is a great example of the value and impact of how our work in Llais leads to improvements to how services are designed and delivered.

Thank you to the Cardiff and The Vale team for their hard work.
