The ‘Nutrition Framework for People Affected by Cancer’ sets out the level of nutritional care that should be available to all adults affected by cancer in Scotland (ages 16 years and above) and provides a structure for delivering care. Its overall aim is to bring existing services together in a collaborative manner and illustrate a good practice model that provides equitable and efficient access to the appropriate services for people affected by cancer.

The Framework has been developed by a multi-disciplinary, collaborative group comprised of representatives from NHS Boards and third sector organisations. It is equally relevant to all professions and services providing care and support to people affected by cancer, irrespective of sector or setting.
