Full case study

This case-study describes the elements of a first touch communication approach, introduced by Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (at Aintree University Hospital), and the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (at Liverpool Lung Cancer Unit), for newly diagnosed patients with lung cancer.
