Macmillan Resources
The Macmillan Treatment Summary template contains information that has been identified as helpful to GPs at the end of cancer treatment phases.
It can supersede multiple forms of communication from secondary care that GPs might find unclear.
It is a simple summary of a patient’s cancer diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management plan.
However, there are other tools and documents that will serve the same purpose, such as, discharge letters, which could include that information in a clear format.
We do know of one example where the Treatment Summary has replaced the discharge letter, and other examples of where electronic templates have been developed in some areas. Producing these electronically can help multiple professionals to input into them.
