Abstract

What is your present role? (What do you do in that role?)

I am currently the Lead of Person Centred Care Integration within CancerControl Alberta. In this role, my areas of responsibility revolve around building capacity at point of care to deliver tailored, individualized care to cancer patients across their cancer journey. This has been achieved by designing, implementing and evaluating programs that aim to enhance the person-centred nature of care delivery. The provincial programs currently in my portfolio include cancer patient navigation, survivorship, screening for distress, and patient-reported outcomes.
