Despite the chronicity, it is often under-recognised and under-treated. There is a finite resource of specialists to provide HNL intervention, necessitating self-management as an important pillar of patient management. This study aims to explore healthcare professionals (HCPs) understanding, perceptions and experiences of HNL management to promote self-management and adherence to HNL interventions in patients following completion of HNC treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Eight focus groups were conducted with HCPs (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200939) from different professional disciplines, acute and community settings and countries.

There was a lack of clarity towards roles and responsibilities of HNL management among HCPs, with many having a desire to be better equipped to promote patient self-management and adherence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HCPs involved in care delivery of patients with HNC require education and training on HNL, to support patient and family engagement with HNL self-management.
