Supporting information

The following information should be presented within the referral letter and notes:

• Cancer diagnosis, last active treatment, the treatment thus far, procedures to date, current therapy and the current problem and the reasons for referral.
• Copy of all clinical letters from all local services that have been involved in the patients care within the last 12 months (i.e. Pain Consultants, Rheumatologists, Cancer Specialists, Mental Health, Physiotherapy etc.)
• Copy of all clinical discharge letters from any previous admissions
