Gain a practical introduction to clinical trials in oncology and the vital role nurses play in supporting patients throughout their journey. This session will explore how clinical trials differ from standard treatment and how they integrate within the multidisciplinary team.
Designed for nurses new to clinical trials—or those caring for patients enrolled in trials alongside standard care—this webinar will strengthen your understanding of key areas including informed consent, patient advocacy, symptom monitoring, and supporting shared decision-making.
You’ll also gain insight into the responsibilities involved in clinical trial delivery, from protocol adherence and safety reporting to documentation and collaboration with research teams.
With more than 40 clinical sites across Australia, GenesisCare will showcase the types of trials currently underway and share perspectives on the future direction of oncology research.
