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).
