  "abstract": "Background Cancer survivorship is increasing, accompanied by a rise in cardiotoxicity from cancer therapies. While some risk factors overlap between oncology and cardiovascular disease, individuals affected by both face unique challenges. UK provision of self-management (SM) support for this population remains poorly defined, particularly regarding interdisciplinary approaches.Aim To map existing UK self-management support for cancer survivors at risk of or experiencing cardiotoxicity, and to explore models of interdisciplinary collaboration, perceived needs, and service gaps.Methods A mixed-methods, explanatory sequential study will be conducted over 12 months in three phases:1. Scoping Review: Systematic searches of MedLine, CINAHL, PubMed, and PsychInfo will identify and synthesise evidence on multimodal prehabilitation and rehabilitation programmes targeting cardiotoxicity in cancer populations.2. Online Surveys: Structured questionnaires will be distributed to approximately 1,326 health professionals and 227 patient representatives via cardiac, cancer, and cardio-oncology networks to assess SM support delivery and availability. 3. Qualitative Interviews: Semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of survey respondents will explore experiences, barriers, facilitators, and innovations in SM provision.Results Expected outcomes include a comprehensive overview of SM support pathways, current interdisciplinary practices, and perceived needs. The study will identify variation in provision, highlight gaps, and uncover barriers to implementation.Conclusion This study will address a critical gap in cardio-oncology service delivery by clarifying the national landscape of self-management support. The project endorsed by British Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation and British Cardio-Oncology Society was subsequently awarded funding by the British Heart Foundation Clinical Research Collaborative, reflecting its alignment with national rehabilitation priorities. Findings will inform development of standardised, patient-centred pathways aligned with BACPR’s multidisciplinary approach.",
