Eating can be a significant challenge for cancer survivors; however, to date there is no systematic way of assessing and addressing food related quality life in this group. The purpose our study was develop framework doing so. Over the course 6 years participant-led workshops, we worked alongside 25 head neck (HNC) survivors their partners, employing video-reflexive ethnographic (VRE) methods. current reports on data from two summative workshops series where with participants cohere emergent...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Incurable head and neck cancer (HNC) has a complex, unpredictable disease trajectory causing multiple symptoms. Patients can be from deprived backgrounds with more limited health literacy. High healthcare service use is common, even within the last month of life e.g., emergency attendances compared other cancers. Exploring experiences across an essential first step to addressing needs. <h3>Aim</h3> To understand multi-perspective services over time for incurable HNC...
Background Patients with incurable head and neck cancer have considerable unmet needs complex symptom burden, evidence of substantial geographical and/or socioeconomic inequalities. Accurate information on healthcare needs, resource utilisation service provision in the last year life is lacking. This places limits delivery planning development testing interventions to better meet needs. Our partnership spans three regions, which nationally some highest rates cancer. Aims The overall aims...

Current treatments have not proven to be effective. International studies suggest low-level laser therapy may an effective treatment. Objectives To assess clinical effectiveness cost-effectiveness management oral irradiation. identify barriers facilitators...

: Data sharing enables researchers to conduct novel research with previously collected datasets, thus maximising scientific findings and cost effectiveness, reducing waste. The value of sharing, even de-identified, quantitative data from clinical trials is well recognised a moderated access approach recommended. While substantial challenges remain, there are additional for qualitative in trials. Incorporating the necessary information about how will be shared into already complex trial...
