"Since participating in the Allies in Cancer Care course I now have a much better understanding of the model of personalised care and I have thought about how I can incorporate this into future assessments as a Paramedic. Whilst I think I am already proficient at an holistic needs assessment I have definitely thought more about ensuring I do not slip into a purely medical model of assessment when working with patient's with a cancer diagnosis.
