Popis: Patient advocacy remains a key priority within the Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology (CAPO) and the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology (CANO). Optimizing collaboration within and across advocacy organizations, institutions, and other stakeholders is timely as we enter an era when patients and their caregivers’ voices are front and center. In this paper, we report on ongoing efforts to advance patient advocacy – broadly defined as processes and behaviors related to proactively supporting a cause – herein specific to cancer care. Through active partnering with all relevant stakeholders, both organizations are well positioned to push for a representative and inclusive national psychosocial oncology advocacy agenda.
