With the team you will help to conduct and deliver this mixed methods study which consists of a systematic review, an online survey, and interviews and focus groups with never smokers who have been diagnosed with lung cancer, healthcare professionals, and other key stakeholders. The study aims to identify the informational, care and support needs of never smokers with lung cancer and to develop recommendations for best practice which place patient experience at the heart of the care pathway.
