About the patient surveys

Patients with bowel cancer being treated in the hospitals participating in the study will be asked to consent to participate in the collection of patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) via patient questionnaires.

There are three questionnaires in the PROMs study:

  • Time 1 - given to/ posted to patients' around the time of their diagnosis of bowel cancer
  • Time 2 - posted to patients' one year following their diagnosis of bowel cancer
  • Time 3 - posted to patients' approximately three years following their diagnosis of bowel cancer

Some of the questions in the PROMs questionnaires are the same in each questionnaires.  Time 2 and time 3 also have some different questions as it helps us to understand more about the patients' experience along their journey.

We had patients, carers, oncologists and surgeons involved in the working group that helped design each of the questionnaires and identify important questions to be included.
