to deliver personalised care. Radiographers ascertained Joe's likes/dislikes, stress triggers, and capacity to understand instructions to ensure his safety, with communication of his needs to the radiotherapy team and wider MDT. A trial run was undertaken at the first clinic appointment to evaluate viability of treatment delivery. Results: Joe successfully completed his course of 20 treatments daily over four weeks. Conclusion and Discussion: Communication across the MDT meant the team were prepared to adapt care for Joe and his needs before his first appointment. Use of 'my care passport' [1] enabled the radiographers to get to know Joe and understand his requirements before they met him. A named radiographer guided Joe through his appointments. Treatment was delivered at a Satellite Centre, close to where Joe lived. This facilitated a personal experience in a less intimidating and calmer environment, and coupled with continuity of staff from Joe's care home ensured a smooth and consistent experience. The familiarity of the care home staff with the radiotherapy procedure helped Joe maintain a routine with appointments at the same time each day Consideration of Joe's dignity and toileting independence meant removing the need for Joe to use daily micro-enemas and simplifying the normal bladder filling routine. Small, simple adjustments to the standard care pathway enabled Joe to successfully receive curative treatment. Numerical References
