About this subject
This subject focuses on advanced symptom management and communication strategies in cancer care, preparing nurses to recommend evidence-based approaches to prevent and minimise the side effects of cancer treatments, optimising patient function and comfort. Students will learn to develop patient-centred, comprehensive care plans in collaboration with patients, their caregivers, and the multidisciplinary team (MDT) to enhance quality of life. The unit covers various approaches to effective, timely, and context-specific communication, emphasising the importance of legal and ethical frameworks in end-of-life decision-making. Additionally, students will be equipped to identify the inherent strengths in patients, caregivers, families, and communities, supporting their ability to cope with and adjust to change and loss.
