A cancer patients’ journey involves many health professionals in different treatment facilities across widespread locations. Patients and carers often need an experienced clinician to coordinate their care, to help them navigate health services, and to provide a single point of contact for information and support. The role of the Cancer Care Coordinator is designed to help fulfil this need. Cancer Care Coordinators provide continuity of care through diagnosis, treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy and follow-up.
