Excerpt

The recent Cancer Strategy for England (2016) highlights that by March 2017 NHS England will have agreed an approach for data collection which includes patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as a means for assessing long-term quality of life (QoL) for cancer patients [1]. Moreover, it indicates that “people affected by cancer (and clinical leaders) … will be in the driving seat for improving quality across cancer pathways” ([1] p. 18). …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
