More Than My Illness: Delivering quality care for young people with cancer is the second of two CLIC Sargent reports which examine the non-clinical needs of children and young people with cancer. This report focuses on young people aged 16-24 and their families, while the first in the series focused on the needs of children aged 0-18.
More Than My Illness recommends that all young people diagnosed with cancer be assigned a key worker to coordinate clinical, emotional and social care and facilitate practical support such as educational and work advice.
CLIC Sargent has secured funding from the Department of Health and the National Cancer Action Team to pilot and evaluate a key worker led model with the Royal Marsden Hospital. The charity will also be working with other organisations involved in the delivery of care and support for children and young people with cancer, to consider how the report’s recommendations can be implemented in their work.
