The Netherlands Cancer Institute's Patient Council (PaR)

The Patient Council advocates for the communal interests of patients receiving care at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. The council considers topics that are important to patients and offers advice - upon request and when necessary - to the Board of Directors. The Patient Council concerns itself with the following:

• the patient's position
• the quality of care and the protection thereof
• policies that directly affect the patient's wellbeing (like nutrition, care, waitlists, and the way patients are treated)
• complaint handling procedure and policy
• general policy concerning the access to and end of care
