This infographic introduces healthcare professionals who may be involved in cancer care and explains how they support patients and families. Care teams vary from person to person, so not all roles will apply in every situation. To help you feel more prepared and confident, we also provide suggested questions you can ask when meeting the healthcare providers shown below.
This lesson builds on the original ‘support professionals in cancer care’ infographic available here, as well as on earlier patient education resources developed by OMPRN, available here.
This infographic is intended as a helpful starting point and is used for educational purposes only.
By the end of this lesson learners will:
- Have a broad understanding of their treatment team
- Be comfortable with asking relevant questions during their treatment
