From July 2021, all patients diagnosed with cancer in England are being invited to complete the survey around 18-months after their diagnosis. 

National and regional-level reports will be made available through the Cancer Data website.

It is important that as many people in Cheshire and Merseyside as possible complete their survey so that the information collected fully represents our cancer population.

The resources below have been developed to help you promote awareness and uptake of the Cancer Quality of Life Survey.
