Useful National Documents

In 2004 to 2005, BAHNON did a national survey of information provision for head and neck cancer patients. Please read more about the project via the link below:
About the BAHNON national patient information survey

The table below allows you to download much of the information we collated from the survey. Where there was lots of information on the same subject, we have just provided the best examples for downloading. Where information was scarce, we have made the information available, but please be aware of the scores, as some are poor quality but we thought you might like to see them as a starting point for your own information.

You will see from the table below that there are areas in the pathway where there appears to be no information available. These are the areas we need to focus on for information development.

The information provided is NOT MEANT for you to give to patients directly, it is meant to provide you with examples of other people's work, so that it's easier for you to create your own local information. We have stated where good national information is available, and in these cases it is unnecessary to develop local information - please use the national information.
