Evaluating practice is central to any NHS service. Evidence-based approaches are essential to ensure that services are run effectively, develop according to need and continue to be commissioned. A complementary therapies service was introduced at Whipps Cross University Hospital for patients with cancer and palliative care needs. The service was evaluated using an evaluation tool. Findings from the evaluation covered symptom management, wellbeing and therapeutic modalities. It is important to undertake individualised qualitative Complemenevaluations as well as quantitative studies.
