Cancer Care Nova Scotia leads the Nova Scotia Cancer Patient Education Committee (NSCPEC), a collaborative committee made up of representatives from CCNS, Capital Health, Cape Breton Cancer Centre and all other District Health Authorities. Members include health professionals, cancer survivors, and family members.
NSCPEC works with hospitals, communities and health care centres to provide educational material for cancer patients which meet patient education standards. We ensure that materials are interdisciplinary, follow a standardized format, are culturally sensitive and are relevant to cancer patients in Nova Scotia.
The materials developed by the NSCPEC are available in the
Publications for Patients and Families section of our website. Cancer Centers and Satellite Clinics
The Cancer Centers and Satellite Clinics also have information available for you and your family. Ask your healthcare team for resources about your cancer and its treatment.
