Patient navigation
A more connected path to care.
Finding the right cancer service can feel overwhelming. The NCCO navigation framework is designed to connect people with appropriate services and referral support.
01 · Understand your needs
Start with a general enquiry about navigation. Availability and next steps must be confirmed with NCCO. Do not send diagnoses, medical records or other sensitive health information through ordinary email.
02 · Identify appropriate services
The proposed navigation process identifies suitable cancer services and specialist connections based on individual needs and service availability.
03 · Coordinate referrals
Referral assistance is intended to help patients understand where to go and how to connect with the appropriate healthcare provider. Clinical decisions remain with qualified professionals.
04 · Follow up with care
The framework includes follow-up and recording outcomes with appropriate consent, privacy safeguards and authorised access.
A verified service directory and secure online navigation requests are planned. This public website does not collect patient records or operate a referral portal.
