Telephone Triage (TT): A proactive approach to cancer care.

Phone triage (PT) enables prompt communication between healthcare providers and patients. This can expedite the diagnostic process and promote early engagement with healthcare services, fostering a proactive approach to cancer care. Through targeted questioning and risk assessment, nurses can identify high-risk individuals, ensuring urgent cases are fast-tracked for evaluation and intervention. Within our treatment centre PT may be attended by Registered Nurses (RN), Transitional Nurse Practitioners (TNP) and Nurse Practitioners (NP).
