Educational Materials: Cancer Associated Thrombosis Training for Allied Health Professionals (CATNAP)

Patient education in and, prevention and management of Cancer Associated Thrombosis (CAT) is an important aspect of supportive management and long-term health of cancer patients and is advised in multiple guidelines. However, there is evidence across western health systems that the provision of quality service remains an unmet need. Allied Health Professionals such as pharmacists and nurses already play a crucial role in management of multiple aspects of the cancer journey.

A team of oncologists, nurses, pharmacists and researchers have developed educational materials for AHPs and cancer patients which will help fill the current gap in knowledge and provide a competency for the management of CAT. The materials are ready to download from the CATNAP Website. It is also available as a e-Learning module under Supportive Care on BOPA website.

Suggestion on how to integrate CATNAP into your Trust has been provided by the CATNAP team: Incorporating CATNAP
