Open to Provincial Region, Patient partners across BC
Last updated
BC Cancer currently offers limited resources on alcohol use during cancer treatment. To help fill this gap, a team—including a Clinical Nurse Specialist, Patient & Family Counsellor and an Oncology General Practitioner—is developing a new resource for patients, and they are seeking one partner to provide input.
Your feedback will help shape this resource to:
• Offer clear and useful information for people with different experiences of alcohol use.
• Reduce stigma, so patients feel safer talking about alcohol and cancer.
• Support healthcare providers in having compassionate, non-judgmental discussions about alcohol use with patients and caregivers.
We will meet virtually, or on the phone. Likely 3 – 1h meetings; from end of May- June.
We want to reduce the stigma around using alcohol while having cancer treatment, so people will talk to their health care team about their alcohol use.
