We worked with two lead oncology dietitians at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to build a personalised digital self-screening tool that provides cancer patients with first-line nutritional advice, relevant bitesize resources, and built-in clinical safety. 

Hosted on the Wessex Cancer Alliance website; which is also built and managed by NHS Creative, patients and stakeholders were closely involved in the tool’s development, providing testing and feedback throughout the build process.  

The tool’s successful launch led to the project winning an Allied Health Professional (AHP) Innovation and Improvement Award 2024. 

“This innovative digital tool addresses a critical need. It empowers patients with accessible, relevant nutritional guidance, while demonstrating an impressive commitment to inclusivity and evidence-based care. It holds the potential to significantly improve the lives of people with cancer across the UK.”
