Patient-centred interprofessional education in cancer care: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cancer remains a major global health challenge, affecting millions annually and ranking as the second leading cause of death worldwide. The complexity of cancer treatment requires an interdisciplinary approach, connecting professionals from various fields to deliver personalised and integrated care. However, structural issues and insufficient interdisciplinary training can impede effective collaboration, which is why effective interprofessional education (IPE) is needed. This protocol depicts the planned procedures for a scoping review that aims to explore the role of IPE in enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration within oncology by mapping and synthesising the implementation, impact and evaluation strategies of patient-centred IPE programmes.
