A cardio-oncology multidisciplinary team is essential for the successful delivery of patient-centred care. The roles of oncologists, haematologists, and cardiologists have been clearly articulated in literature pertaining to the creation of cardio-oncology clinics. However, the involvement of other key team members, such as pharmacists, nurses and nurse practitioners, social workers, psychologists and other allied health professionals has been less well-defined.
