A clearer definition is essential to drive system-wide improvement. This scoping review was undertaken to answer two important questions: What are the key constructs that define palliative care service capability, and how can they inform quality improvement and benchmarking?METHODS: A scoping review, retrieving studies from Medline, PsycINFO, and CINAHL. This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR).

This study examined the extent to which the views of patients and HCPs on cancer care align, and identified factors that may underlie disparities.METHODS: Participants with colorectal cancer (CRC) were asked to describe their perception of their disease (i.e. whether they felt it was under control (DC), was progressing (PD), or was of an unknown status) and to complete psychometric assessments of anxiety, depression, PTSD and well-being. Two HCPs, who were blinded to…
