We are looking to develop patient education booklets for the different types of cancer treatments that would be provided to patients and family members when a patient is starting on cancer treatment.
The booklets provide information on the clinics, patient rights, side effects, supportive resources available (transportation, social work/emotional support, financial support, etc.) It will ensure all patients being treated within Interior Health receive the same information.
A patient partner will help to ensure we are capturing essential information that a patient starting on treatment would need to know, that the booklet is easy to read/navigate, and provide feedback on additional information that would be helpful to include.
