Many people with cancer experience long-term physical and emotional challenges resulting from the disease and its treatment. Personalised care enables people to exercise choice and control over how their care is planned and delivered. The principles of personalised care are based on healthcare professionals focusing on what matters to people living with cancer. Personalised care enables people to use their individual strengths to ensure that they can have an active role in decisions about their care if they so choose.

The author examines how nurses can adopt a personalised care model and how this supports improved quality of life and outcomes for patients with cancer. Additionally, the author explores how personalised care interventions have been affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and how these might be delivered virtually.
