Why do you need it?
Cancer patients only remember 10% of what they are told during a consultation. Information is an important part of a patient’s treatment; knowledge empowers them to be prepared and to cope with their situation.
Every Trust is now required to make information available to all, but producing it yourself is costly and time consuming. The Factfile gives you instant access to hundreds of pages of high-quality information that you can copy and give to as many patients as you want.
‘Patients and carers cannot express preferences about care and make choices on involvement in decision making unless they have access to appropriate and timely information.’
