Description

A clinical trial is researching whether records can help cancer patients make more informed choices about their treatment. The best thing about having my appointments recorded was the ability to sit down in the aftermath and in the cold light of day listen to what had been said," says Bob Miller, who recently underwent radiotherapy after being told last year he had prostate cancer.

Miller's consultations were audio-recorded as part of a study by researchers at the Edinburgh Cancer Centre, on how a navigation consultation support system can help cancer patients prepare for their appointments and feel more in control throughout their treatment.
