Healthcare professionals understanding, perceptions and experiences of head and neck lymphoedema to promote self-management for patients following completion of head and neck cancer treatment: a qualitative study
HCPs involved in care delivery of patients with HNC require education and training on HNL, to support patient and family engagement with HNL self-management. To advance adherence and compliance of HNL self-management, there is a need to develop a dedicated HNL self-management intervention, integrating theory and evidence.
