This study assessed the impact of a programme to train doctors in interpreting a patient quality of life questionnaire.
When this study was done, The Leeds Cancer Centre at St James’s University Hospital introduced a new way to find out what problems and concerns patients have about their cancer and treatment. Before seeing the doctor, patients filled in a brief quality of life questionnaire using a touch screen computer. The doctors saw the results of the questionnaire before seeing the patient.
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a training programme. The programme was designed to help doctors interpret and use the information provided in the new quality of life questionnaires that patients were filling in.
