Description of this webinar:

Health literacy, patient empowerment, shared decision-making (SDM) and patient empowerment are major buzzwords today. For the Anticancer Fund (ACF) and the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG), however, these represent the cornerstones of a successful, efficient and effective patient-centred healthcare. All patients have the right to receive accurate information about their cancer, their different treatment options and the potential side effects.

The Anticancer Fund (ACF) and International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) are therefore pleased to announce their first collaborative event in 2023. They hosted an interactive webinar on shared-decision making (SDM) and patient empowerment within the geriatric population. They talked about the importance and unique characteristics of SDM and challenged all healthcare professionals (HCP) working with elderly cancer patients and their relatives to actively engage them. The team of the My Cancer Navigator information service illustrated the value and benefit of reliable information when it comes to taking real steps in bettering cancer care.
