The Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute (TSJCI) has announced the roll-out of ‘My Gynaecology Patient Passport,’ a resource for patients diagnosed with, or undergoing investigation for, gynaecological cancer which will be carried by patients throughout their cancer journey.
The first of its kind for gynaecological cancers in Ireland, the patient passport will be provided to patients being treated for ovarian, uterine, cervical, vaginal and vulval cancers during their first visit with the St James’s Hospital Gynaecology Team. The document, which is filled in collaboratively by patients and their clinicians, will include important information and visual aids related to the patient’s diagnosis and care plan, and will provide helpful resources to support patients both before and after treatment. It has been designed to allow patients to take ownership of their care and improve communication between patients, specialist healthcare teams and primary care physicians.
