Under 16 national cancer patient experience survey 2023

A diagnosis of childhood cancer understandably has a devastating impact on the emotional health and wellbeing of the child and their family, both during and after treatment. Children and young people’s treatment and experience of cancer differs greatly from adults, and we recognise the need for a personalised approach to their cancer care. 

It’s so important for us to listen and learn from children and young people to provide them with the best possible care and experience throughout treatment and to reduce the impact it has on them later in life.

The under 16 cancer patient experience survey informs how the NHS delivers cancer services with the aim to radically improve the outcomes for children and young people affected by cancer. 

The NHS really wants to hear from children and young people, and their families, about their experiences so that we can continue to improve the care and services the NHS delivers. If you receive an invitation in the post, please complete the survey.
