• Liaise with clinicians, MDT coordinators (MDTC), Patient Pathway Coordinators (PPC), and partner services to ensure patients are diagnosed within the timeframes outlined in national guidance.
• Direct the person and family to relevant information resources and other organizations' information resources to meet their information needs throughout the person living with cancer’s journey from diagnosis to living with and beyond cancer.
• Support people to access local appropriate information and signposting to a range of support services, an approach which helps people to self-manage where appropriate.
• Ensure every patient detail is added to the project database following cancer diagnosis to enable the support of all patients from the start of their cancer journey.
