Welcome

The main research theme of the Psychosocial Oncology and Clinical Practice Research Group (POCPRG) is on patient-centred assessment of symptoms, psychological and social functioning and quality of life (QOL) in oncology practice with the aim of improving patient care.


We, and others, have shown that the use of computer-based technologies to evaluate patient-centred aspects of cancer care is routinely possible. The data can be readily provided to healthcare professionals resulting in improvement in patient well-being.
