Our Pathway Navigators are integral members of our cancer teams working to support the patient journey during the diagnostic stages of the cancer pathway. This resource is about helping you as a Pathway Navigator (PN) to understand and recognise the opportunities and boundaries of your role. It aims to help you record the key skills and competencies that will enable you to be a safe, person-centred practitioner, working as part of a team to deliver high-quality, ethical and non-discriminatory care to patients and their families.

You will be encouraged to work through the development programme that has been designed to incorporate education and training offers which are fundamental to providing optimal care coordination and support. You will be expected to create a portfolio which is a collection of documents and resources that you assemble in order to demonstrate that you have undertaken or achieved the appropriate learning and development to deliver your role competently and offer care coordination for a person with a suspected cancer.
