This charter, created and endorsed by the Canadian Association of Radiation Oncology is also endorsed by the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists. The patient charter is designed to outline essential patient rights over the course of their radiation therapy and aid healthcare professionals involved in their care (including radiation therapists) to help ensure these are met.
We acknowledge that the work of the Canadian Association of Provincial Cancer Agencies takes place on the traditional lands of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities across Canada.
We honour the unique cultures, languages, and histories of these nations, recognizing their enduring connections to the land. We commit to working collaboratively with First Nations, Inuit and Métis to achieve health and well-being, acknowledging the historical and ongoing impacts of colonialism. Together, we strive for equity in cancer care for all.
