Supporting children and young people with cancer and their families across the South West
Jess’s Rule asks GP teams to ‘reflect, review and rethink’ if a patient presents three times with the same or escalating symptoms. Under Jess’s Rule, listening carefully to the patient’s concerns and taking note of each symptom remain crucial, recognising that patients are experts about what feels normal for their body.
We know that having cancer and facing treatment at a young age can be one of the hardest and scariest of times in a young person’s life. We are here to help, give you a voice, and to try and make things a little easier for you.
To help teens and young adults with cancer we have launched our TYA Cancer Hub South West with information and guidance tailored to our patients aged 16-25.
The Under 16 Cancer Patient Experience Survey aims to understand the experiences of cancer and tumour care among children and their parents/carers. The results will help improve children’s cancer services across England.
The survey is sent to children under the age of 16 and their parents or carers who have recently had a diagnosis of cancer or a tumour and have been treated at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
