PRDA needs you!
The Pelvic Radiation Disease Association (PRDA) wants to see a world-leading 10 Year Health Plan that places quality of life at the heart of improving care for people with Pelvic Radiation Disease. Our main asks are listed below, if any or all of these matter to you personally please take part in the consultation and feel free to include them in your response:
- A bigger focus on services that improve quality of life – helping people to live as normal a life as possible after treatment for cancer.
- Equal access to appropriate and co-ordinated care for all by establishing radiotherapy late effects services across the whole of the UK.
- Professional education and training on PRD for G.Ps, specialists and all other healthcare professionals involved in the care of people living with PRD.
- The provision of resources to support patients to self-manage (e.g. by recording and monitoring symptoms).
- The development and implementation of digital tools that allow people to easily record post-cancer treatment symptoms, and have these reviewed by clinical teams who can respond appropriately.
- Patients to receive sufficient information at the end of their cancer treatment to know where to go for help with symptoms in the future.
- Medical coding to ensure that a PRD diagnosis and all PRD symptoms are recorded in NHS patient records.
- Much greater levels of research into PRD, including interventions that could prevent or limit its impact.
Though this consultation is regarding NHS England, the PRDA welcomes the implementation of all of these commitments across the devolved NHS systems of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
