Understanding the experiences of young people with cancer and their caregivers is vital to developing a clear understanding of cancer provisions within and across the NHS. The 2020 Under 16 Cancer Patient Experience Survey data represents this cohort’s experiences at a national and local level, and can inform and improve cancer care and treatment throughout the NHS.
The Under 16 Cancer Patient Experience Survey was conducted between April and June 2021. Children and young people were invited to participate if they had received inpatient or day case care from an NHS Principal Treatment Centre in 2020 following a confirmed cancer or tumour diagnosis.
