In this Cancer Nursing 101 webinar, we’ll explore the fundamentals of cancer survivorship and what it means to support patients beyond active treatment.
From managing long-term and late effects, to navigating psychosocial needs, follow-up care, and care coordination, this session will equip nurses with practical insights to deliver holistic, patient-centred survivorship care.
Presented by Dr Carla Thamm, Senior Research Fellow and Clinical Lead of the Cancer Survivorship Program at the Caring Futures Institute, Flinders University, this session will bring both research and real-world insights to support your practice.
CNSA thanks the McGrath Foundation for their support to develop this important series.
