Abstract
Malnutrition in those with cancer is prevalent. Cancer, treatment and medication side effects can impact nutritional status affecting tolerance to treatment, fitness for surgery and overall quality of life. With a population of 1.4 million people and around 13,000 new cancer diagnoses in the North of Scotland each year, nutrition education to address concerns at an early opportunity is vital to improve patient outcomes. North Cancer Alliance funded a 23-month regional dietetic post to develop an education resource to support and empower patient self-management of first-line nutritional issues experienced prior to, during or after cancer surgery or treatment.
