CanCare’s Navigators ‘walk beside’ a person with cancer, helping them get the support they need, at the time they need it most.
CANCARE NAVIGATION
ONE-TO-ONE SUPPORT
The CanCare Navigator provides practical, one-to-one support, such as
• Providing regular contact and practical help
• Filling out complex medical forms
• Finding transport to or from treatment
• Arranging child care, elderly care, or pet care during treatment
• Organising social outings and connecting to support groups
• ‘Checking-in’, to make sure everything is OK
CANCARE
NAVIGATORS
After a cancer diagnosis, normal routines and life can be disrupted by such a life changing event. It can be a challenging time, and with advances in cancer treatment, there are often many treatments and medical specialists involved.
CanCare Navigator’s stay in touch with regular contact – in person or by phone, text, or email, and be there until things are back on track or they are no longer required.
VOLUNTEER NAVIGATORS
CAN HELP TO:
There is evidence that patients who are well supported and have their needs addressed experience lower rates of anxiety, mood disorder, nausea, vomiting and pain, and know more about their disease and the treatment options available.
