Highlights • Question prompt lists and consultation audio-recordings can assist cancer patients in understanding and recalling information. • Clinicians and hospital administrators are supportive of integrating strategies into usual care. • Use of a strategy should be driven by patient preference. • Many individual, relational, system, resourcing and medico-legal considerations are identified. • Identifying and addressing practical implications prior to clinical implementation is essential.
