Abstract

This scoping review aims to map current models of survivorship clinics/care in tertiary care to help inform future service development. A comprehensive search will be conducted in Medline, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library and Scopus, along with grey literature sources, following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The study selection will be guided by the PCC (Population, Concept, Context) framework, where the population will include adult cancer survivors (≥18 years), the concept will address models of cancer survivorship clinics/care, and the context will be tertiary cancer centres. Data will be extracted on service structure, organisation, multidisciplinary team composition, and scope of care. This scoping review will map and synthesise international models of cancer survivorship clinics/care in tertiary cancer centres, highlighting variations in service delivery, organisational structure, and patient involvement. By identifying gaps and inconsistencies in the existing literature, the findings will inform the development and refinement of survivorship services, including potential application within the Irish cancer centre system.
