The Lung Cancer Care Navigator is the first point of contact for all questions and queries. They work closely with the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) teams and will listen and establish:

  • What needs to happen.
  • Assess who else need to be involved.
  • Take responsibility for ensuring the right outcome.

 

Cancer Care Navigators keep track of patient progress through pathways to ensure the cancer journey is as smooth as possible. This includes:

  • Chasing up test results.
  • Communicating with other healthcare professions and support services.
  • Coordinating further appointments and procedures.
  • Ensuring that all the relevant information required is provided to the patient.
  • Supporting the patient to live well with and beyond cancer.
  • Provide guidance to make sure that any diagnostic tests, diagnosis and treatment plans is understood.
  • Signpost patients to the correct information and support that is available at any point in the pathway.
