3.2.4 Personalising patient care
Participants felt that use of the tool would help to provide patient-centred care based on the patient’s specific cancer risks enabling a personalised rather than a more generalised plan of care:
“I think it will make the care more patient-centred because you’re presenting them with their own risk not a general risk, it’s personal to them and it will just make the consultation more patient focused, and I think it will make patients feel more involved in the consultation and just feel more cared for” (Service User 12: individual interview).
Patients will go away with a lot more targeted information about their personalised risk of cancer rather than a vague statement” (Practitioner 1 [GP]: individual interview).
