QOL-20. THERAPY ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR LONG TERM SURVIVORS OF PAEDIATRIC CNS MALIGNANCIES

摘要

BACKGROUNDChildren and young people treated for central nervous system tumours are at risk of developing significant morbidities and complex late effects. NICE guidelines state the management of these morbidities should be provided by a multi-disciplinary team (MDT). Specialist paediatric oncology therapists have wide-ranging skills and knowledge and can holistically manage challenges these children and young people are faced with. Local therapy services can follow-up care but don’t have the specialist skills that the principle treatment centre can provide and are restricted by caseload pressures and resources.
