The assessment of a patient is an integral part of clinical management. It should be conducted in a way which maximizes the likelihood of patients disclosing all their main problems, whether physical, social or psychological in nature. Unfortunately, professional carers can be uncertain of their ability to do this. This flow diagram leads the carer through key points in the assessment interview.

Key Words: cancer • communication • counselling • psychological interview
