Telesurvivorship is a Swedish service that makes it possible for patients who have completed their cancer treatment to have a comprehensive, face-to-face visit with an experienced nurse practitioner. A virtual visit with the nurse practitioner from the Cancer Survivorship Program is available to those who have completed their treatment for cancer.
Our nurse practitioners have significant expertise that can help you to understand the treatment that you had and discuss resources that you can use going forward. You will also have a chance to review the treatment summary and care plan document, and to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
You are able to have a conversation with the nurse practitioner via the internet, using your smartphone, tablet or computer with a camera. This is a convenient way to get information and support remotely, delivered to your home or office.
